What is an overactive bladder?
An overactive bladder is a condition that causes a sudden and frequent urge to urinate, sometimes leading to urgency or incontinence. In the UK, it affects millions of people, particularly as they get older. Symptoms and severity can vary between individuals, and many people manage the condition with medication, pelvic floor exercises, or lifestyle adjustments.
Going on holiday with an overactive bladder can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.
What travel insurance can cover if you have an overactive bladder:
- Emergency medical treatment abroad if your condition causes complications
- Hospital treatment and medical expenses during your trip
- Repatriation to the UK if you need to return home for further care
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
