The brief answer ? lots of people! One estimate is that at least 2.9 million Canadians have an overactive bladder or suffer from incontinence. An overactive bladder is more common in women, and in older adults, but can be found in younger folks and in men. Unfortunately, many people who have symptoms of an overactive bladder suffer silently and needlessly because they do not seek medical help.

In two large studies it was found that about 1 in 6 adults reported some symptoms of an overactive bladder. Symptoms vary in their severity. About 1 in 3 people with an overactive bladder have episodes of urge incontinence.

Overactive bladder occurs when the bladder muscle contracts involuntarily, like a muscle spasm, resulting in a sensation that the bladder is full when it is not.

A neurogenic bladder is one that is affected through the spinal nerves lacking sufficient inhibition from higher control centers in the brain and/or brainstem region. This can cause excessive spasticity flowing to the bladder creating small volumes and higher pressures with urgent and frequent voiding and subsequent incontinence. Frequently adults and children will be voiding every one to two hours with very little time to make it to the bathroom and frequent wetness with transfers.

The cells lining the bladder and urinary tracts can begin to grow in an uncontrolled manner resulting in the disease know as bladder cancer. Transitional cells line the bladder proper and are so named because they transition from square when the bladder is empty to flat when the bladder is full. Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is the most frequently occurring malignancy of the urinary tract in dogs. The incidence increases with the dog's age.

Dry food eaten quickly swells up in the fish's intestine and keeps the fish from controlling its swim bladder properly. To help, feed the fish pre-soaked or gel-based foods. Green foods are also helpful; peas in particular. with finrot, these disorders can also be caused by bacterial infection. Treatment is much the same.

Although the incidence of bladder cancer is low, there has been a significant increase in the disease over the last ten years.
