Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common urological clinical problem, which mainly results from changes in collagen types I and III within the detrusor were responsible for bladder compliance. Tere is a paucity of information about the mechanical properties of connective tissue and how these properties can change as a function of OAB. Tat is why the purpose of our research was to assess the diferent types of collagen distribution in the OAB before and afer treatment.
