This page gives you information about Botox® treatment for an overactive bladder (OAB). OAB is where the bladder starts squeezing (contracting) inappropriately and without any warning during filling causing a sudden urge to pass urine. This need to pass urine can be so strong that it can lead to a urine leakage and may be caused by a problem with the nerves controlling the bladder. People with neurological disease are at risk of OAB but very often no cause can be identified.
