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.
Frequent urination is characterized by a need to urinate more often than normal, report doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Nocturia is a condition that causes patients to have to urinate more frequently during the night. When combined with urgent urination, which is a sudden, urgent need to urinate, more often than not the culprit is a urinary tract infection. Other causes of frequent urination, which often can be controlled with medication, include diabetes, prostate problems, overactive bladder syndrome and interstitial cystitis. Video of the Day
