Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of "add-on" solifenacin treatment and its persistency in men with over active bladder symptoms after tamsulosin monotherapy for 4 weeks.

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and persistency of solifenacin treatment in male patients with persistent OAB symptoms of urinary frequency and urgency with/without urgency incontinence who are receiving tamsulosin monotherapy for LUTS at a stable dose for 4 weeks in real life practice. Also proportion of patients and predictive factors with persistent OAB symptoms after tamsulosin monotherapy will be investigated.
