چکیده
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a disturbance of filling/storage and has been defined by the International Continence Society as “a symptom syndrome consisting of urgency with or without urge urinary incontinence, often associated with urinary frequency and nocturia.” (Abrams et al., 2002) OAB has been divided into OAB without urinary incontinence (OABdry) and OAB with urinary incontinence (OABwet). The reported prevalence of OAB in women varies between 7.7 and 31.3%, and increases with age. (Irwin et al., 2006a; McGother et al., 2006;Milsom, et al., 2001; Stewart et al., 2003; Wagg et al., 2007)
