Urinary urgency

Urinary urgency is a lower urinary tract storage symptom defined as a sudden, compelling desire to pass urine that is difficult to defer It predominantly affects adult populations, frequently occurring as the hallmark symptom of overactive bladder syndrome, though it may also arise secondary to urinary tract infections, bladder outlet obstruction, or neurogenic bladder disorders Pathophysiologically, urinary urgency stems from abnormal sensory or motor signaling within the lower urinary tract, o...

Urinary urgency is a lower urinary tract storage symptom defined as a sudden, compelling desire to pass urine that is difficult to defer

It predominantly affects adult populations, frequently occurring as the hallmark symptom of overactive bladder syndrome, though it may also arise secondary to urinary tract infections, bladder outlet obstruction, or neurogenic bladder disorders

Pathophysiologically, urinary urgency stems from abnormal sensory or motor signaling within the lower urinary tract, often mediated by detrusor muscle overactivity, heightened urothelial afferent signaling, or disrupted central nervous system regulation of the micturition reflex

Clinically, it manifests independently of actual bladder volume and is commonly accompanied by urinary frequency, nocturia, and, when involuntary leakage ensues, urgency urinary incontinence
