A member asked:
How does a person know if their overactive bladder is due to anxiety or physical causes? if it were due to anxiety, would urination happen even it was after drinking fluids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can evaluate: People who pee more often than desirable can see their primary care doctors for advice and treatment. A doctor will look for the common causes of such issues. Of course, anybody who pees too often will have anxiety (unless it doesn't bother the person to be peeing so often, such as in a 1 year-old). So, that means the issue can be both psychological and physical combined.
