A bladder spasm is a common symptom of ageing in both men and women. Its daily cycle of intensity often reaches a peak at about 3 AM. It can be treated with anticholineurgic medicines which relax the bladder muscles, but these also relax bowel muscles and may contribute to constipation, and other side effects.

Bladder spasms can also be caused by infection as well droopy bladder syndrome.

It should not be confused with an enlarged prostate which also causes urinary frequency but also causes a weak stream, which spasms do not.
