Urge Urinary Incontinence Articles

Idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) is defined as a symptom complex characterized by urinary urgency with or without urinary incontinence, nycturia and increased frequency of micturition without the presence of an infection or other pathological conditions, especially a neurological disease.

Twenty-three patients who underwent an unilateral sling transection were analyzed retrospectively.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a well-known adverse outcome following robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Although postoperative SUI has been extensively studied, little focus has been placed on understanding the natural history and impact of urgency symptoms following RALP.

Overactive bladder is a disruptive urinary condition composed of urgency, frequency, and nocturia, which affects a large proportion of men and women. Symptoms are often associated with a decreased quality of life.

Urinary incontinence (UI) has been identified as a World Health Organization health priority. In particular, urge UI (UUI) refers to urine leakage associated with a sudden and compelling desire to void urine.

Overactive bladder (OAB) affects 12 to 30% of the world's population. The accompanying urinary urgency, frequency and incontinence can have a profound effect on quality of life, leading to depression, social isolation, avoidance of sexual activity and loss of productivity.

Urinary incontinence (UI) is highly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Concurrently, the availability of surgical or conservative UI treatments in LMIC is limited.
