PD08 - Bonus Session: Pharmacologic Management of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction
Credits: None available.
Bonus pre-recorded presentation to be watched at your convenience!
Historically referred to as bladder dysfunction, the term lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction recognizes the multiple structures that act together to ensure bladder filling/storage along with regular emptying via micturition. This session reviews pharmacologic management of LUT dysfunction including failure of urine storage (urinary incontinence, overactive bladder), incomplete emptying/urinary retention (bladder outlet obstruction or underactive detrusor function). Emphasis will be placed on integration of pharmacologic management into a holistic management program that includes complementary management such as behavioral interventions.
