Treating urinary incontinence: an evolving challenge for us all

Abstract

Lower urinary tract symptoms are common, affecting up to 35 % of women in European countries. However, this heterogenous group of symptoms correlates poorly with underlying diagnosis. By describing a case of a 61-year-old woman with troubling urinary urgency, urge incontinence, and frequency, this case provides a systematic approach to aid the assessment, investigation, and management of women presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms.
