These are mere physical conditions. In the former the bladder is so contracted and its capacity for retaining urine so small that it must empty itself often; frequency of micturition, therefore, will vary with the activity of the kidney. The frequency of overflow is the voluntary but repeated ejection of a small amount of urine from the over-distended bladder. Both conditions may be tabulated thus C. Physical Irritability.
