Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

We don't have any information from you other than your need to use the bathroom frequently.

A weak bladder is also known as an overactive bladder. For women, childbirth and age are major factors.

The severity ranges from occasionally leaking urine when you cough or sneeze to having an urge to urinate that's so sudden and strong you don't get to a toilet in time.

It isn't a disease, it's a symptom. It can be caused by everyday habits, underlying medical conditions or physical problems. A thorough evaluation by your doctor can help determine what's behind your weak bladder.

You could also have a urinary tract infection - this causes the need to urinate very frequently. You need to be treated for this as failure to do so can cause a more serious kidney infection.

Best,
Susan
