Hyperactive bladder. With this disease, no pain is observed. There may be leakage of urine, because patients, when they feel a sudden sharp urge to urinate, do not always manage to reach the toilet in time. Some patients specifically go to the toilet more often than necessary in order to avoid such embarrassing situations.
