Overactive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent clinical condition in both men and women, and rates tend to increase with advancing age. A variety of different evaluation methods have been developed to measure both objective and subjective parameters of the condition. OAB has been associated with negative clinical outcomes, particularly in older adults, including depression, social isolation, and impairments of both general and health-related quality of life. Options for treatment include behavioral therapies, medications, and surgical treatments such as chemodenervation. Combined symptoms of OAB and benign prostatic enlargement have recently gained increased research attention. This article reviews recently published literature on epidemiology, evaluation, clinical impacts, and management of OAB, with a focus on elderly men.
膀胱过度活动症（OAB）是一种在男性和女性中都非常普遍的临床病症，且其发病率随着年龄的增长而增加。已经开发出各种不同的评估方法来测量该病症的客观和主观参数。OAB 与负面的临床结果相关，特别是在老年人中，包括抑郁、社交孤立以及一般和与健康相关的生活质量受损。治疗选择包括行为疗法、药物治疗和手术治疗，如化学神经切断术。OAB 和良性前列腺增生的综合症状最近引起了更多的研究关注。本文综述了最近发表的关于 OAB 的流行病学、评估、临床影响和管理的文献，重点关注老年男性。
