Who does overactive bladder affect?
You will probably be a little relieved to know that you are not alone – between 12 to 18 per cent of Canadians suffer from overactive bladder. Approximately two thirds have dry overactive bladder (overactive bladder without urge incontinence), while the remaining one third have wet overactive bladder (overactive bladder with urge incontinence). Even though overactive bladder affects all ages, it tends to be increasingly common with age. Both men and women are equally at risk of developing overactive bladder. However, women are more likely than men to discuss their condition and seek treatment.
