Bladder Stones
One of the most common conditions that result in the development of an overactive bladder is bladder stones. This medical condition triggers the overactivity of the detrusor muscle resulting in an overactive bladder and other changes in urination habits.
Bladder stones typically develop when the bladder fails to empty. When this happens, that urine becomes concentrated. Concentrate urine then crystallizes and forms bladder stones. The presence of bladder stones can lead to various infections.
In some cases, bladder stones develop due to foreign materials in the bladder. In addition, individuals with an enlarged prostate and damaged nerves are also more likely to develop bladder stones.
An overactive bladder caused by bladder stones may worsen if the stones are not expelled effectively and quickly. It is, therefore, crucial for individuals with bladder stones to seek help from their doctors to ensure proper treatment. In addition, to prevent bladder stones and all their symptoms, it is imperative to consume the recommended amount of fluids based on age, size, health, and activity level.
