Have you ever heard of this term? Or maybe you know a friend who sometimes needs to rush to the toilet to urinate and may leak before getting there? The symptoms include:
- Urgency:
- Sudden urgent desire to pass urine. You are not able to put off going to the toilet.
- Latch key urgency is the name given to the urgent need you might feel to pass urine as soon as you get home and put your key in the door.
- High frequency:
- Going to the toilet more often than normal – usually more than 8-9 times a day.
- Nocturia:
- This means waking up to go to the toilet more than once at night.
- Urge incontinence:
- This occurs in some people with OAB. It is a leaking of urine before you can get to the toilet when you have a feeling of urgency.
