In the 2002 ICS Standardization of Terminology report, OAB is defined as "urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia," in the absence of infection or other proven pathology. Overactive bladder was defined by the presence of frequency, urgency and urge incontinence, either singly or in combination. Frequency was defined as voiding at least 8 times in 24 hours. A questionnaire based survey was performed in 249 male, 298 women total 547 responders to establish the prevalence overactive bladder (OAB) on the basis of ICS terminology and identify the factors related to the occurrence of the condition. All responders were neurologically normal with normal urinalysis and none was pregnant. Symptoms of an overactive bladder of which frequency and urge incontinence are as bothersome urge incontinence are highly prevalent in the general population. In our study the OAB prevalence rates are in Group 1 (15-25 years) 7.3% of men, 24.1% of women, in Group 2 (26-35 years) 13.8 % of men, 21.9% of women, in Group 3 (36-45 years) 17.0 % of men, 32.1% of women, in Group 4 (>46 years and), 31.9 % of men, 25.7 % of women. Increasing age was found to be significantly related to an increasing overactive bladder. The following factors were found to be significantly related the higher prevalence of overactive bladder: age, menopause and stres incontinence. Treatment seeking behavior rate is low in our study population women with OAB. As a result, the prevalence of overactive bladder in the study population very high but a few individuals are currently receiving treatment. Keywords: Overactive bladders, prevalence, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, urge incontinence.
