Overactive Bladder (OAB) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2022 To 2032
The International Continence Society
defines overactive bladder (OAB) as a syndrome characterized by urinary
urgency, often accompanied by increased frequency and nighttime urination
(nocturia), with or without the presence of urgency urinary incontinence (UI),
and in the absence of urinary tract infection (UTI) or evident pathology. OAB
can manifest with or without incontinence, termed OAB (wet) and OAB (dry). The
exact cause of overactive bladder is not thoroughly understood, but it is
believed to result from a combination of factors. The lower urinary tract
serves two primary functions: storing and eliminating urine. The interplay
between these functions is controlled by a network of neurotransmitters
operating through both autonomic and somatic pathways. When involuntary
contractions of the detrusor muscle, known as detrusor overactivity, occur
spontaneously or in response to stimuli, as observed during urodynamic
assessments, it leads to the development of an overactive bladder, with or
without accompanying incontinence. Around 90% of cases involving detrusor
overactivity causing symptoms of urgency and frequency, with or without
incontinence, are idiopathic in nature, lacking an identifiable cause.
Nonetheless, neurological issues, anatomical irregularities within the lower
urinary tract, and other disorders can contribute to or worsen detrusor
overactivity. Relevant diagnostic measures comprise urinalysis and, if
irritative bladder symptoms and significant microhematuria are present on
urinalysis, potentially urine cytology. Conditions like UTIs and chronic
irritative bladder ailments can mimic the symptoms of OAB. The assessment of
postvoid residual volume (typically <150 mL) can assist in ruling out
overflow incontinence. The management of overactive bladder encompasses
addressing any underlying and reversible medical conditions that contribute to
the syndrome. This might involve employing antibiotics for bladder infections,
addressing stress UI through surgical, weight-related, or medical interventions,
and optimizing glucose regulation in diabetes. The ultimate aim is to progress
toward treatments that specifically target the symptoms related to the bladder.

The prevalence of overall OAB is comparable
between women and men (16.9% vs. 16.0%). Nevertheless, while the occurrence of
OAB with or without urge-UI is similar in women (9.3% and 7.6%, respectively),
men tend to experience OAB without urge-UI more frequently than OAB with
urge-UI (13.4% and 2.6%, respectively).
