Overactive Bladder

Overactive bladder is a condition in which the bladder contracts involuntarily, creating an urgent and frequent need to urinate.

Common symptoms: It usually includes a sudden urgency to go to the bathroom, an increase in the number of urinations during the day and night, and, at times, urine leakage.

When to see a doctor? It's worth consulting when these symptoms interfere with rest, work, or daily life.

Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the appropriate professional to study overactive bladder; the nephrologist and, in women, the gynecologist may take part depending on the case. Discussing this discomfort with a specialist helps to better understand its origin and management options.
