The sudden urge to urinate can be debilitating. It can keep you from leaving home and enjoying your life, with the fear of a potential accident always looming.

Sometimes an overactive bladder is called urge incontinence, creating the urge to go when your bladder isn’t full. It might be possible to use a bladder workout to strengthen the bladder and regain some control over urges and when you go to the bathroom.
