Overactive Bladder in Women Achieving effective management – MM1602
Overactive bladder (OAB) has been defined as urinary frequency and nocturia (night-time voiding more than once per night) in the setting of urgency (a sudden, compelling desire to void that is difficult to defer) and in the absence of pathological or metabolic conditions that may explain the symptoms. Female urinary incontinence is a common problem with an estimated prevalence of 25%. Quality of life is significantly impacted by urinary incontinence, often leading to embarrassment and social isolation.
