Summary
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a very common condition affecting women of all ages. The objective of this pilot study is to better understand the urinary microbiome and associated inflammatory markers in blood and urine in women with urgency UI. The study will assess how inflammation may affect response to standard of care anticholinergic medication treatment for urgency urinary incontinence.
