About Overactive Bladder in Chennai
Overactive bladder is a chronic condition characterized by a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate that is difficult to defer, often accompanied by frequent urination during the day and night and, in some cases, involuntary leakage of urine. It results from involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle that occur even when the bladder is not full, distinguishing it from stress incontinence caused by physical exertion. The condition can significantly affect quality of life, causing social embarrassment, sleep disruption, and anxiety around access to restrooms. It becomes more common with advancing age but is not a normal or inevitable part of aging.
