Bladder hyperactivity

Bladder hyperactivity, clinically termed overactive bladder or detrusor overactivity, is a lower urinary tract disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of the detrusor smooth muscle during the bladder-filling phase Pathophysiologically, the condition stems from neurogenic dysregulation, myogenic hypersensitivity, or altered urothelial afferent signaling, which trigger inappropriate neuromuscular stimulation

Bladder hyperactivity, clinically termed overactive bladder or detrusor overactivity, is a lower urinary tract disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of the detrusor smooth muscle during the bladder-filling phase It affects adult populations across both sexes, with prevalence rising markedly with advanced age, metabolic dysfunction, or underlying neurologic disease

It affects adult populations across both sexes, with prevalence rising markedly with advanced age, metabolic dysfunction, or underlying neurologic disease Clinically, it manifests as urinary urgency—often accompanied by increased daytime frequency and nocturia—occurring with or without urge urinary incontinence in the absence of a urinary tract infection or other identifiable local pathology
