Urge incontinence refers to episodes of a strong urge to urinate, accompanied by urine leakage.

Overactive Bladder Causes

When any of those items are functioning improperly or not at all, it can lead to overactive bladder. Some of the most common causes of overactive bladder include:

  • Poor kidney function
