You feel an overwhelming urge to go, almost so strong you can’t control it, but is it a bladder infection or an overactive bladder?
While only a doctor can make the correct diagnosis, it’s important to understand the difference between the two.
What is a bladder infection?
Bladder infections, also called urinary tract infections (UTI), are much more common in women than in men because women have a shorter urethra (the tube that connects to the bladder and leads urine out of the body). This makes it easier for bacteria to enter the bladder.
