Prospective study of prevalence of overactive bladder symptoms and child-bearing in women of reproductive age.
The aim of the study was to verify the presence of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) symptoms in premenopausal women and relate them with child-bearing data. ⋯ Nulliparous women presented fewer OAB symptoms than primiparous women. Multiparous women presented more symptoms than the other two groups. There were no significant differences between cesarean and vaginal delivery, but the scores of women who had vaginal delivery were higher than those who had cesareans. Both types of delivery were related to higher ICIQ-OAB scores (more severe symptoms) than those of nulliparous women.
