Urinary Urgency Symptoms & Signs. Urinary urgency is the sudden urge to urinate, due to involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle. Urinary urgency is one of the hallmark symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI) and can be related to other conditions as well. Certain medications, like diuretics, can also cause urinary urgency. Damage to the nerves that control the bladder or conditions like overactive bladder are characterized by urinary urgency. Urinary urgency is related to and often accompanied by urinary frequency, the need to urinate frequently.
Risk factors: Underlying causes or contributors to urinary incontinence include the following: 1  Smoking: The connection with incontinence is not completely clear, but smoking is known to irritate the bladder in many people.  Obesity: Excess body fat can reduce muscle tone, including the muscles used to control urination.
