Overactive Bladder
Improve patient outcomes and reduce costs with Living With’s Overactive Bladder product.
One in six adults in the UK report symptoms of an overactive bladder. When they do seek help, patients often still have trouble remembering to do their exercises and often miss or skip appointments. This results in it often taking longer to see the desired improvements in outcomes, DNAs are increased and the treatment cycle is unnecessarily lengthened.
