Yes, people with Parkinson's disease commonly experience bladder and urinary problems. About 30-40% of people with Parkinson's have urinary issues, which can include frequent urination and sudden urges to urinate, even when the bladder isn't full. This happens because of an overactive bladder that signals the brain to empty prematurely.

Some people may also have difficulty fully emptying their bladder, which can lead to urinary hesitation or incomplete emptying. These issues can increase the risk of urinary tract infections. If you're experiencing urinary problems, it's important to work with your healthcare provider or a bladder specialist. There are medications and treatments available that can help manage these symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
