Overactive Bladder Syndrome and Urinary Incontinence

Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome and urinary incontinence are prevalent conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. As such, it is important that these conditions are understood, diagnosed and treated appropriately. Part of the Oxford Urology Library, this pocketbook provides a practical and easy-to-read reference, covering all clinically relevant aspects of OAB and incontinence.

With chapters covering the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of OAB and urinary incontinence, this book will serve as a useful guide for urologists, gynaecologists, geriatricians, trainees, nurses, continence advisors, physiotherapists, medical students and general practitioners all over the world.
