Research Notes on Overactive Bladder in Women
Overactive bladder (also called urinary incontinence) affects millions of women, causing a sudden urge to urinate or urinating involuntarily. Overactive bladder can cause a small leakage or a heavy loss of urine. Women are twice as likely to have overactive bladder than men. Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and the structure of the female urinary tract are the primary reasons for this difference.1
Fast Facts:
