title: Urinary urgency in women.
abstract: Urinary urgency is a common unpleasant symptom which may result from a variety of different pathologies. Careful patient assessment and appropriate investigation allow the cause to be elucidated and treated effectively in most cases. However, further research is necessary to increase our understanding of these disorders and to improve the quality of life of the women affected by them.
