What is overactive bladder disorder?

Overactive bladder syndrome is a syndrome characterized by symptoms of urinary frequency and urgency, often accompanied by urinary frequency and nocturia symptoms, with or without urge incontinence. However, symptoms due to acute urinary tract infection or localized lesions of the bladder or urethra, such as bladder stones, bladder tumors, urethral stones, and other causes of urinary urgency and frequency, need to be excluded.

The cause of overactive bladder syndrome is not clear, and is currently considered to be related to instability of the detrusor muscle; bladder sensory sensitivity, the desire to urinate at smaller bladder volumes; abnormal function of the urethra and pelvic floor muscles; abnormal mental behavior, and hormone metabolism disorders. For the diagnosis of overactive bladder syndrome, it is necessary to first exclude urinary system infection, acute, tumor, stone, stricture and other causes of urinary urgency and frequency. So you need to do urinary routine, urinary ultrasound, or even cystoscopy to rule out the above diseases before you can consider overactive bladder disorder. The current treatment is mainly behavioral therapy, such as bladder function exercise and pelvic floor muscle exercise; and medication, such as sernitin, trasylolamine, and Wellbutrin.

In summary, overactive bladder disorder is a condition whose cause is not yet clear and whose main symptoms are urinary urgency, frequency, increased nocturia, and urinary incontinence.
