Abstract:

The paper gives a literature review reflecting the current possibilities of treatment in women with overactive bladder depending upon age. It shows the susceptibility of the lower urogenital tract to sex steroids, the significance of which in the genesis of overactive bladder is beyond question. Different hormone replacement therapy options as part of combination therapy are considered. The authors declare no conflicts of interest.

Keywords:
