Hyperactive or overactive bladder... causes sudden and frequent urges to void your bladder even if there is virtually no urine ready to be voided. Urges can occur hourly or sometimes more frequently, which can negatively impact people's sleep patterns, social lives and work schedules. Sometimes, a hyperactive bladder doesn’t cause a dramatic urge, but unwanted urine leakage or incontinence will occur. 2, record 1, English, - overactive%20bladder
