You have been diagnosed to have the bladder condition known as an Overactive Bladder (OAB) or unstable bladder. It is not unusual and affects women and men of all ages. About 4.8 million people in the UK are affected by the symptoms of OAB.
The symptoms of feeling that you can’t wait to go to the toilet (urgency), going more often (frequency), passing urine more than twice in the night (nocturia), or having accidents of leaking urine (urgency incontinence), are caused when the muscles that control your bladder become too active.
