What Triggers the Bladder to Urinate?

As the bladder fills, nerve signals sent to the brain trigger the need to urinate. When urinating, these nerve signals cause the pelvic floor muscles and the muscles of the urethra, called the urinary sphincter muscles, to relax. The muscles of the bladder tighten or contract, pushing the urine out.

Involuntary Bladder Contractions

Overactive bladder happens when the muscles of the bladder start to tighten on their own even when the amount of urine in the bladder is low. These are called involuntary contractions. They cause an urgent need to urinate.

Identifying these symptoms is the first step in pursuing the right treatment for bladder spasms or involuntary bladder contractions. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional to pinpoint the underlying cause and create a personalized treatment plan.
