What is overactive bladder?
Overactive bladder is a condition that occurs when your bladder leaks urine at the wrong time. If you have two or more of the following symptoms, you may have overactive bladder:
- A strong need to urinate suddenly without warning
- Leaking urine accidentally after a strong urge to urinate
- Urinating eight or more times daily or two or more times at night
Having an overactive bladder may cause you to isolate yourself from others, avoid going out in public, and can drastically hinder your quality of life.
What are the risk factors for overactive bladder?
The cause of overactive bladder isn’t always entirely clear, but risk factors for developing this condition may include:

- Alzheimer’s disease
- Stroke
- Drinking caffeine or alcohol
- Drinking too much fluid
