Patient preferences and expectations in OAB

A pivotal challenge
in the OAB management

A key challenge involves the gap between patients recognizing Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms and seeking care promptly, leading to an exacerbated impact. A primary contributing factor is the limited awareness and understanding among patients about incontinence and OAB, creating a significant barrier to timely assistance. Closing this knowledge gap is crucial to minimizing delays in seeking help for OAB.
