What is Overactive Bladder (OAB)?
Overactive Bladder, or OAB, is a clinical condition where the bladder muscle contracts involuntarily, even when it isn’t full. It creates a sudden, overwhelming urge to urinate that can be incredibly difficult to ignore. It is estimated that one in three women, or over thirty million adults in the United States live with OAB symptoms, though the real number is likely much higher because so many people assume it’s just a normal part of getting older.
