The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of tolterodine in women with overactive bladder (OAB) and concomitant anterior vaginal prolapse. In this prospective study, 235 consecutive women with OAB symptoms and urodynamic diagnosis of detrusor overactivity who either had no prolapse or had pure anterior vaginal prolapse were included: 184 women (group 1) had no prolapse and 51 women (group 2) had anterior prolapse greater than and equal to stage IIa. Tolterodine 4 mg slow release once a day was prescribed. After 12 weeks, women were reassessed using a 3-point scale (no change, improvement and cured). A total of 158 (85.9%) women in group 1 and 31 (60.8%) women in group 2 reported improvement or cure (P = 0.0002). Women with OAB and significant anterior vaginal prolapse should be informed of a reduced efficacy of antimuscarinics in treating their urinary symptoms.

We evaluated overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and sexual and emotional health in sexually active women with OAB/urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) treated with tolterodine extended release (ER). Sexually active women with OAB symptoms were randomized to placebo or tolterodine ER. Five-day bladder diaries, Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Female (SQOL-F), Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) were completed at baseline and week 12. Tolterodine ER (n = 201; mean +/- SD age, 49 +/- 12 years) reduced UUI episodes (P = 0.0029), total (P = 0.0006) and OAB (P < 0.0001) micturitions, and pad use per 24 h (P = 0.0024), and was associated with improvements in SQOL-F (P = 0.004), PISQ total (P = 0.009), and HAD Anxiety (P = 0.03) scores versus placebo (n = 210; mean +/- SD age, 47 +/- 12 years). OAB symptoms improved with tolterodine ER as did the scores of sexual health and anxiety measures in sexually active women with OAB.
