The biopsychosocial impacts of anxiety on overactive bladder in women

Links between emotional state and the bladder have long been recognized, as psychological comorbidity is a common feature of overactive bladder (OAB). However, how psychological factors might contribute to the development and severity of OAB remains unclear. Therefore, we sought to examine the effect of anxiety on OAB with a specific focus on bladder hypersensitivity.
