What could cause an overactive bladder?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Busy Bladder: An "overactive" bladder is a term used to describe frequent urination which can be due to many causes. Some can be related to neurological issues, metabolic issues, obstructive issues or infections. If you have no physiologic or physical issues it could also be a "perceived" issue and more psychosomatic. Most commonly it is infection in a woman and a simple urine test at your doctor can check.
