This
debate occurred at the ICS Annual meeting in Beijing China October 2012. Seven
YouTube videos - most 9 to 12 minutes each. This is a fascinating discussion of some of
the issues with the term “OAB”. Firstly
there is evidence that a drop in urethra pressure precedes urgency and detrusor
contraction so is it really the bladder which is overactive or is it the
urethra which is underactive. I very
strong case for why PFM exercises help OAB.
The role of the nervous system is also discussed as are the influence of
the pharmaceutical industry and the needs of the patients. As you can image, in the end, there is no
final answer but the discussion really highlights what is being researched and
discussed in the field of bladder dysfunction.
Check it out.
