Constantly having to urinate might have you asking yourself “what is an overactive bladder” and searching for ways to help reduce these symptoms. Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition that is characterized by sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder. This results in a sudden, compelling need to urinate that is difficult to suppress (urinary urgency), even though the bladder may only contain a small amount of urine.
