What is Overactive Bladder (OAB)?
Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a collection of symptoms dominated by urinary
urgency — a sudden compelling need to pass urine — often accompanied by
increased daytime frequency, nocturia (waking at night
to pass urine) and, in many cases, urge incontinence (leakage before
reaching a toilet). OAB may result from involuntary bladder muscle contractions or
heightened bladder sensitivity and can significantly affect quality of life.
OAB is common in both men and women and can be caused or worsened by infections, stones, prostate issues, neurological conditions, medications or lifestyle factors. Accurate evaluation helps choose the best treatment path.

Sudden Strong Urge to Pass Urine
The primary symptom of OAB is a sudden, intense urge to urinate that is hard
to defer. Patients often rush to the toilet and may worry about leakage if a
toilet is not immediately available.
Frequent Daytime Voiding & Nocturia
People with OAB commonly pass urine frequently during the day and may wake
several times at night to urinate. This can disrupt sleep, work and social
life and lead to daytime fatigue.
Urge Incontinence & Anxiety About Leakage
Many patients experience accidental leakage with a strong urge (urge
incontinence). This can cause embarrassment and limit activities outside
the home unless effectively treated.
Associated Symptoms or Triggers
Symptoms may worsen with caffeine, alcohol, cold weather, anxiety or
after drinking large volumes. In men, coexisting prostate problems can
contribute to symptoms; in women, pelvic floor weakness or prior pelvic
surgery may be relevant.
Causes & Risk Factors for OAB
Overactive Bladder may be idiopathic or secondary to other medical issues:
1. Bladder Muscle Overactivity – Detrusor overactivity causes involuntary contractions leading to urgency and leakage.
2. Urinary Tract Infection or Stones – Infections or stones irritate the bladder and mimic or trigger OAB symptoms.
3. Prostate Enlargement or Obstruction – In men, obstruction from BPH can cause storage symptoms including urgency and frequency.
4. Neurological Conditions – Parkinson’s disease, stroke, spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis can affect bladder control.
5. Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles – Impaired pelvic support and control can worsen urgency and incontinence.
6. Lifestyle & Medications – Excessive caffeine, alcohol, certain diuretics and some other medications may increase urine production or bladder sensitivity.
A careful clinical assessment and targeted investigations help identify reversible causes and tailor therapy to the individual.

When should I see a urologist for urinary urgency or frequency?
You should consult a urologist if urgency or frequency affects your daily life or sleep, if you experience leakage, if symptoms started suddenly, if there is blood or pain with urination, or if initial home measures do not help. Early evaluation helps identify reversible causes and avoid undue impairment of quality of life.
Can Overactive Bladder be cured?
Many patients experience significant improvement or complete resolution of symptoms with conservative measures, pelvic floor therapy and medications. In refractory cases, Botox or neuromodulation can provide excellent symptom control. While some causes may be chronic, the majority of patients can achieve meaningful relief and improved quality of life with appropriate, individualized management.
Is Botox injection into the bladder painful or risky?
Intradetrusor Botox injection is usually performed under short anaesthesia or sedation with cystoscopic guidance. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. Side effects can include temporary difficulty passing urine (increased residual urine), urinary tract infection and transient bleeding. These risks are discussed beforehand and patients are monitored after the procedure.
What lifestyle changes help Overactive Bladder?
Helpful measures include reducing caffeine and alcohol, scheduling fluid intake to avoid excessive late-night drinking, practising bladder training and pelvic floor exercises, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding constipation. Small, consistent changes often provide notable symptom relief and complement medical therapies.
