Multiple medical terms are used in the french medical literature to caracterize an urgency. However, it is a corner stone symptom of bladder overactivity, different from a normal physiological sensation. Specific tools have been designed to measure urgency but there is an essential need to give a specific and clear medical word according to other medical terms for urinary signs or symptoms. This leads to propose urgenturia as the specific medical term for urgency.
