Nerve damage can cause the bladder muscles to squeeze without warning. This can causes the following overactive bladder symptoms:
• Urinary frequency, which is urinating eight or more times a day or two or more times at night
• Urinary urgency, which is a sudden, strong need to go immediately
• Urge incontinence, which is urine leaking because of a sudden, strong urge to urinate
