Aim of the study: To assess whether transvaginal ultrasound measurement of bladder wall thickness can be used as a test for overactive bladder in women.

Results: Women with stress urinary incontinence had bladder wall thickness less than 4 mm. Patients with overactive bladder had bladder wall thickness greater than 4.2 mm; average 5.14 mm.
