Intermittent, uncontrolled contractions of the muscles in the bladder wall that may cause urge incontinence (see incontinence, urinary). It can occur temporarily if there is a urinary tract infection (see cystitis); a catheter present within the bladder; a bladder stone (see calculus, urinary tract); or an obstruction to the outflow of urine by an enlarged prostate gland. In some cases, symptoms may be relieved by antispasmodic drugs; other treatment is directed at any underlying cause. Bladder training may also be used.
