[Characteristics of bladder microcirculation in women with overactive bladder].

Abstract

We studied microcirculation and a blood nitric oxide level in 30 females aged 23-63 years with overactive bladder (OAB) before and after administration of oxibutinin. We found that OAB patients have microcirculation disorders accompanied with elevation of nitric oxide in the blood. Oxibutin improved bladder microcirculation, normalized blood nitric oxide with resultant positive changes in clinical symptoms with less frequent voiding and alleviation of imperative disorders.
