The short answer: overactive bladder means a sudden, hard-to-delay need to pass urine, often with frequent trips day and night. Yes — it is treatable, and surgery is rarely the first step.
Treatment usually starts with bladder training, adjusting fluids and caffeine, and reviewing medicines. Tablets or other non-surgical options are considered next, and help most people.
An assessment first rules out other causes such as infection or an enlarged prostate, so the treatment actually matches the problem.
If urgency or frequency is controlling your day, request a bladder assessment — it is one of the most common concerns we see.
