Overactive Bladder Symptoms
Experiencing occasional incontinence doesn't mean you have an overactive bladder. Urine leakage can happen for other reasons, like if you're laughing too hard. You may also experience loss of urine if you've been fighting the urge to urinate for an extended period of time.
An overactive bladder is determined by the frequency and urgency of urination. Symptoms include:
- An urgent and uncontrollable need to urinate.
- Frequent involuntary loss of urine.
- Frequent urination (more than eight times in a 24-hour period).
- Waking up more than once a night to use the bathroom.
