Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is a condition characterized by a sudden and uncontrollable urge to urinate, often leading to frequent trips to the bathroom. People with OAB may experience urinary incontinence, which is the involuntary leakage of urine. This condition can significantly impact daily life and may cause embarrassment or anxiety. The exact cause of OAB is not always clear, but it can be related to factors such as age, nerve damage, or bladder muscle dysfunction. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, surgical interventions to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
