Aim of this study was to determine if women with overactive bladder really do have a more detailed knowledge about toilets and their conditions in their vicinity in comparison to women with urinary stress incontinence and those without any urinary symptoms.
A questionnaire survey of 270 women from three symptom groups, those with stress incontinence, overactive bladder and controls without any bladder symptoms from an inner city area and two local towns. The knowledge of the three groups was compared and measured by a score assessed by the authors who had visited the toilets themselves.
Women with overactive bladder are more likely to exhibit precautionary voiding prior to leaving home and have significantly more detailed knowledge about toilets in their neighbourhood.
The overactive bladder seems to have a greater influence on behaviour and on quality of life than stress incontinence which could mean that they are more tortured by their symptoms.
本研究的目的是确定与压力性尿失禁女性及无任何尿路症状的女性相比，膀胱过度活动症女性是否真的对附近的厕所及其状况有更详细的了解。
对来自三个症状组的270名女性进行问卷调查，这三个症状组分别为压力性尿失禁组、膀胱过度活动症组以及来自市中心区和两个当地城镇的无任何膀胱症状的对照组。通过作者亲自走访厕所后评估的分数来比较和衡量这三组的了解程度。
膀胱过度活动症女性在离家前更有可能进行预防性排尿，并且对其周边的厕所有更详细的了解。
与压力性尿失禁相比，膀胱过度活动症似乎对行为和生活质量有更大的影响，这可能意味着膀胱过度活动症女性受症状折磨更甚。
