Abstract

All groups/patient's quality of life (QOL) is affected because of overactive bladder (OAB), which leads to symptoms like urgency/urinary frequency/incontinence and nocturia. Several patients do not undergo management because of the embarrassment/misconception i.e. it is related to aging only and even discontinue the treatment due to side effects (repeated incidences). The objective of this review is to explore all management methods (including active ingredients involved in the treatment) and envisage the future scope of the different nano methods with minimizing apparent side effects to achieve a significant effect.

Keywords: OAB, QOL, management, methods, side effects, overactive bladder.
