    The 'overactive bladder' is a common problem affecting the elderly female population especially after the menopause. Urgency with or without urge incontinence accompanied by frequency of micturition and nocturia are presenting symptoms. The diagnosis is established after excluding other diseases of the lower urinary tract which have similar presenting features. The aetiology is multifactorial and this problem often causes physical, psychological and emotional distress to the patient. Management can be provided by primary care physicians initiating behavioral changes which include life style interventions and bladder drills with or without antimuscarinic drugs. The recalcitrant patient not responding to conventional therapy should be referred for specialist care. Non-conventional treatment using acupressure, neuromodulation and surgical methods are only instituted in indicated cases.
