Abstract

Although most studies of overactive bladder (OAB) have investigated older patients, many younger women suffer from OAB syndrome with and without urge urinary incontinence. OAB in these women is associated with an increased risk of depression, sexual dysfunction, sleep disruption, and lost productivity in the workplace. Many patients adopt coping strategies rather than seeking treatment; therefore, available treatments are underused in this population.

摘要

尽管大多数关于膀胱过度活动症（OAB）的研究都针对老年患者，但许多年轻女性也患有OAB综合征，无论是否伴有急迫性尿失禁。这些女性的OAB与抑郁症、性功能障碍、睡眠中断以及工作场所生产力下降的风险增加有关。许多患者采取应对策略而非寻求治疗；因此，现有治疗方法在这一人群中未得到充分利用。
