AB - The prevalence of urinary incontinence is known to increase with age, affecting 15% to 35% of community-dwelling women older than 60 years of age, and other studies report a prevalence of 49% in women older than 65 years. Epidemiologic studies have implicated estrogen deficiency in the etiology of lower urinary tract symptoms, although to date the role of estrogen replacement therapy is controversial. The aim of this paper is to review the recent evidence regarding the effect of estrogen in lower urinary tract dysfunction, with a particular emphasis on the management of symptoms suggestive of overactive bladder in postmenopausal women.
