There is some overlap between the symptoms of both OAB and BPH. OAB occurs due to malfunctioning of the nerves that trigger uncontrolled urinary bladder muscle contractions while the urinary bladder is filling with urine. The main symptom of OAB is a sudden urge to urinate that’s hard to control, which is stressful. On the other hand, BPH occurs due to enlarged prostate gland, which puts pressure on the urinary bladder, thereby blocking urine with pain.

Disease/Condition Glossary

The contraction or tightening of bladder muscles causes bladder spasms. This is termed as an overactive bladder. Continuous contractions may cause an urge to urinate. Overactive bladder is characterized by involuntary leakage of urine, excessive urination, and urgent need to urinate. The common causes of bladder spasms are urinary tract infections, drinking too much caffeine or alcohol, diabetes, constipation, impaired kidney function, bladder stones, enlarged prostate, or neurological disorders.
