ABSTRACT

Recientemente, la International Continence Society ha desarrollado una serie de reuniones que han dado como fruto, documentos de consenso sobre una serie de temas relevantes para los urólogos dedicados al estudio y tratamiento de las disfunciones del tracto urinario inferior. Estos documentos fijan conceptos y al mismo tiempo dan origen a una terminología estandarizada, que facilita el intercambio científico. Nos ha parecido de gran interés, traducir al español en esta oportunidad el documento The Standardization of Terminology of Lower Urinary Tract Function, trabajando en conjunto en varios países hispanoamericanos y en España, de modo de lograr una terminología uniforme también en nuestro idioma, que posibilite el intercambio en la región. Esperamos que esta iniciativa sea bien recibida por nuestros pares y que sea de real utilidad para el desarrollo de nuestra disciplina. Agradecemos muy especialmente al Dr. Paul Abrams, su ayuda para desarrollar esta iniciativa, del mismo modo que agradecemos a la International Continence Society, por autorizar a nuestro grupo para preparar esta traducción.

ABSTRACT

The overactive bladder is characterized by symptoms of frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence, substantially affecting the quality of life of millions of people throughout the world. The symptoms are associated with significant social, psychological, occupational, domestic, physical, and sexual problems. Despite the considerable impact of this condition on quality of life, sufferers are often unwilling to discuss their problem with family members or health care professionals. This situation is unfortunate, for much can be done to alleviate the symptoms of this distressing condition. It is therefore of utmost importance that medical education about symptoms of the overactive bladder and other related problems be improved to help health care professionals identify and treat patients who will benefit from therapy. This article reviews current thinking regarding definition, epidemiology, quality of life effects, evaluation, and management of the overactive bladder
