Popis: | Overactive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent disorder impacting millions of people’s lives throughout the world. Our goal in this chapter is to define the condition as it has evolved over the past few decades. We will then review the basis for establishing a diagnosis, which includes a thorough symptom assessment as well as physical exam and urine studies. The use of adjunctive tests will also be reviewed, although their utility is limited in the diagnosis of an index patient with OAB. |
