Cococ added that the overactive bladder has several reasons, including simple as frequent drinking fluids, and some are dangerous such as cystitis and the presence of stones or tumors in the bladder or metabolic diseases such as diabetes or other diseases such as Parkinson's (Parkinson's) or Multiple Sclerosis.

Prolapse of the uterus;
The German professor Bjorn Lambh, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, that the overactive bladder may be due to prolapse of the uterus or pelvic floor.

Lambh said that overactive bladder can be treated through pelvic floor exercises or electrical stimulation, in order to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
