摘要

In recent years, excessive fluid intake by women has emerged as a well-being misconception without robust scientific support but may have an adverse impact on treatment outcome of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. Excessive fluid intake may have potential disadvantages as overhydration leads to exacerbation of symptoms of OAB particularly frequency, nocturia, and urgency. Fluid management by recommending daily intake levels is the integral, yet underutilized, component of the treatment plan and should be the initial therapeutic approach in all women suffering from OAB. This strategy will reduce the need for pharmacotherapy and other expensive interventions in women with OAB.
