Patients' quality of life is greatly impacted by overactive bladder (OAB), a chronic urological condition marked by urgency, frequency, nocturia, and urge incontinence. Overactive Bladder occurs due to fragile hip diaphragm, injury to nerve fibers, UTI, excise weight, and postmenopausal condition. The bladder contracts leading to a strong desire to urinate, although bladder is not completely filled. These symptoms occur due to detrusor muscle overactivity or bladder hyperactivity, leading to involuntary contractions of the bladder during the filling phase. Some individuals with OAB may experience difficulty in initiating urination, asymptom called hesitancy.
