of diagnosis, determining the type of dysfunction and the
therapeutic strategies. Non-pharmacological treatment strategies
are recommended as initial treatment. For those with OAB,
anticholinergic drugs may be an option while pharmacological

Rarely, surgical intervention could offer beneficial effects. An
algorithmic approach (Fig. 1) and careful patient selection for
treatment is recommended.
