A member asked:
Can anxiety cause an over active bladder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The process of anxiety involves physiological arousal and many symptoms that mimick other conditions and vice versa. Many somatic symptoms, including "butterflies" in stomach and "having to go, " can be symptoms of anxiety. I would encourage you to monitor your thoughts in moments when you seem to have to urinate more than normal; in addition, consider a physician if symptoms persist. Good luck!
