A reappraisal of storage and voiding dysfunction.
Lower urinary tract symptoms are common in women. They may be more broadly classified into storage and voiding disorders. Recent literature has focussed on the management of voiding dysfunction and the spectrum of symptoms presented by women with such disorders. Symptoms of voiding dysfunction and storage symptoms may coexist, making diagnosis and management even more challenging. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature regarding the definition and management of voiding dysfunction with and without associated storage symptoms.
