Program Overview
Program Description
Overactive bladder (OAB) is quite common, with 1 in 3 adults aged 40 and older reporting symptoms at least “sometimes,” and prevalence as high as 65% in nursing homes. Sequelae include reduced productivity, impaired quality of life, and increased risk for fall-related injuries. Yet OAB is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. In this activity, an expert in urologic disorders reviews how to work up OAB (with tips on distinguishing symptoms of OAB from those of benign prostatic hypertrophy) and how to develop a treatment plan, from behavioral therapy to anticholinergics to β3-adrenergic receptor agonists.
