This book provides up-to-date guidance on optimal care of the
patient with an underactive bladder. It covers all aspects of
management, including clinical evaluation, urodynamic diagnosis,
standard care, drug therapy, and emerging treatment options.
Nursing issues are extensively discussed, and advice offered on
the use of catheters and avoidance of catheter-related
complications. Further chapters address epidemiology,
pathophysiology, animal modeling, and health care costs.

While most practitioners are familiar with overactive bladder,
the converse condition of underactive bladder has generally
remained far below the radar. As a consequence, there is still a
lack of empirically validated treatments and effective treatment
strategies. This is a matter of concern, especially as the burden
of the condition is expected to rise in line with the aging of
global populations.
