Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is a common complaint affecting 11.8% of the population. OAB is defined by the International Continence Society as "urinary urgency, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency urinary incontinence, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology."Urinary frequency accompanies OAB in 20%-25% of cases, and nocturia is present in 70%-75% of cases. Around one in three people with OAB also experience urinary incontinence. . OAB can be further categorized into "OAB-dry" (urinary incontinence is absent) and "OAB-wet" (urinary incontinence is present). 2 OAB is a long-term condition that reduces quality of life, leading to anxiety and depression and a negative effect on self-esteem.
