Overactive bladder: Symptom complex or separate entity?

In addition to the series of lectures summarized in the articleson the preceding pages, the 2011 Canadian UrologyForum also included a series of workshops intended tohelp answer the question: “Does overactive bladder (OAB)exist as a separate entity or is it a symptom complex thatmay be associated with other conditions?”In an effort to arrive at an answer to this question, theparticipants were divided into groups and asked to examinea particular subset of patients with OAB. The subsets were:females, males, neurogenic and elderly. In each of theseworkshops, the participants were asked to answer the followingquestions:• What is the most likely underlying cause?• Are there unique phenotypes that can be identifiedclinically that are linked to a common underlyingpathophysiology?• What is the likelihood of associated disorders of theoutlet or pelvic floor?• What are the most effective treatments?Each of the groups then reported their answers back tothe entire group of participants, after which time they wereasked to vote on the key question. This review provides asummary of the discussions that took place in each groupand concludes with the results of the vote.

Purpose: Sexual dysfunction in women with overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome has been an important topic, while the sexual satisfaction of partners has not been fully investigated. Our aim was to explore the association between the severity of OAB with female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners. Methods: A total of 323 patients with OAB recruited in our hospital were included in our study from September 2017 to March 2019. Data were collected by Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) questionnaire, self-designed questionnaire for basic characteristics; Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI); and sexual satisfaction survey for sex partners of patients. χ2 test or 1-way ANOVA was used to compare the variables among groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the severity of OAB with female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners. The correlations between different OABSS domains with female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners were assessed. Results: All the patients were classified into mild (n = 107), moderate (n = 98), severe (n = 118) OAB group based on OABSS. Most of the basic information were similar among groups, except for BMI, highest education, occupation, fertility, and history of pelvic floor surgery. After multiple factors correction, the severity of OAB, exercise frequency, and the history of pelvic floor surgery were statistically associated with the female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners. Urgency score was significantly correlated with female sexual dysfunction, and the urge incontinence was most significantly associated with the sexual satisfaction of partners. Conclusion: Severe OAB was closely associated with female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners. The urgency and urge incontinence should be focused for OAB management.

The sampling technique was purposive sampling by considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were women of ideal reproductive age (20-35 years) who had given birth spontaneously, were not pregnant, did not suffer from neurological disorders, diabetes, post bladder surgery and or urinary tract infections and were not treated with Overactive Bladder (OAB), while the exclusion criteria are not willing to take part in the study.

The results of this study indicate that respondents who did not experience complaints of overactive bladder (OAB) were respondents with the smallest parity (parity 1).Conclusion : Most respondents experienced complaints of overactive bladder (OAB) and urgency, and only a small proportion of respondents experienced urinary incontinence. The results of this study indicate that respondents who did not experience complaints of overactive bladder (OAB) were respondents with the smallest parity (parity 1).Keywords : overactive bladder (OAB), Urgensi,inkontinensia urin, Overactive Bladder Symptom Scores (OABSS).
