Signs and Symptoms of Detrusor Underactivity: An Analysis of Clinical Presentation and Urodynamic Tests From a Large Group of Patients Undergoing Pressure Flow Studies

This has contributed to a lack of awareness of DU and underactive bladder, and to the assumption that symptoms are always due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).
