Overactive Bladder (OAB) Quiz

Could You Have Overactive Bladder (OAB)?

Overactive bladder affects one out of every 11 American adults. Like many conditions, it becomes more common with age. But it isn't an inevitable part of aging, and treatment with exercises and/or medications can help.

  1. Do you often have sudden, strong urges to urinate?
  2. Do you urinate more than eight times in a 24-hour period?
  3. Do you often get up two or more times a night to go to the bathroom?
  4. Do you have uncontrollable urges to urinate that sometimes result in wetting accidents?
