Overactive bladder is a common issue among women of childbearing age, regardless of their childbirth experience. Some of these women may exhibit detrusor overactivity in urodynamic studies. Excluding detrusor overactivity caused by neurogenic bladder, the International Continence Society defines two types of idiopathic detrusor overactivity: phasic and terminal. Although many studies have explored overactive bladder and detrusor overactivity under different conditions, no literature directly compares these two types of detrusor contractions. Therefore, we aim to compare phasic and terminal detrusor overactivity in women with lower urinary tract dysfunction. Between July 2009 and December 2023, medical records of all women with lower urinary tract symptoms who underwent urodynamic studies in the urogynecological department of a medical center were reviewed. The medical records of phasic or terminal detrusor overactivity were selected for comparison (N=290). Those with phasic and terminal detrusor overactivity were excluded (N=21).
