Detrusor Instability
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Detrusor instability describes involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle (the detrusor) during the filling phase, which creates a sudden and hard-to-control need to urinate. It is part of the condition known as overactive bladder.
The general practitioner provides an initial assessment, and the urologist is the one who goes deeper into the study of the bladder and its control mechanisms.
Common symptoms:
- Sudden urge to urinate
- Need to urinate many times a day
- Waking up at night to go to the bathroom
- Occasionally, urine leakage
When to seek help? If these symptoms affect your routine, rest, or social life, it is a good idea to discuss them with a professional. An individual evaluation helps understand the cause and guide follow-up appropriately for each person.
