This condition is typical for overactive bladder syndrome (main symptoms are frequent urination, and muscle pain in the bladder). It should be noted that a direct relationship of Smoking and frequent trips to the toilet can not be traced and while there is no consensus, which mechanism is due to area causes problems bladder, but statistics prove this fact. 10% of all interviewed women suffer from frequent urination.
