The Role of Urodynamic Study in the Evaluation and Management of Overactive Bladder

並列摘要


Overactive bladder (GAB) is a condition of urinary urgency with or without urgency incontinence, and is usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia. Urgency is the core symptom for GAB. The actual pathophysiology of OAB has not been well elucidated. OAB could be caused by sensory urgency from urothelial dysfunction or detrusor overactivity (DO). GAB is a symptom syndrome which includes either sensory dysfunction or a combination of sensory and motor disorders of the urinary bladder. Symptomatic diagnosis of GAB does not correlate with a urodynamic diagnosis of DO. In the differential diagnosis of OAB, urodynamic study is essential and important, especially in determining the therapeutic strategy. Urodynamic testing should serve as an essential part of therapy and it should guide the diagnosis and management of OAB.
