Nonsurgical treatment of detrusor overactivity in postmenopausal women.
Detrusor overactivity with subsequent urge incontinence becomes increasingly more prevalent as women age. Because of that, most women treated for detrusor instability and hyperreflexia are postmenopausal and are not always good candidates for the same treatments given to their younger counterparts. Nonsurgical treatments of detrusor overactivity are available to postmenopausal women.
