What symptom is often associated with detrusor overactivity?

Detrusor overactivity is characterized by involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle during the filling phase, leading to an increased urge to urinate. One of the common symptoms associated with this condition is frequent nighttime urination, also known as nocturia. Individuals with detrusor overactivity may experience a heightened sense of urgency and may need to urinate multiple times at night, disrupting their sleep.

In this context, urinary hesitancy is typically associated with an inability to initiate urination, which contrasts with the sudden and involuntary urges seen in detrusor overactivity. Decreased urge to void is directly opposite to the increased urinary urgency that characterizes overactivity. Bladder stones are a separate condition that may cause various urinary symptoms but are not specifically linked to the muscle contractions seen in detrusor overactivity.
