Understanding Your Bladder Health

Urodynamics

Urodynamics is a specialized diagnostic procedure that assesses how well your bladder and urethra are functioning.

If you're experiencing symptoms related to urinary incontinence, bladder control issues, or other pelvic health concerns,

urodynamics can provide valuable insights to help guide your treatment.

It’s important to arrive with a full bladder, as this will help us gather the most accurate information.

Urodynamic testing is crucial for diagnosing various urinary conditions, including:

Urinary Incontinence: Understanding the specific type of incontinence you may have (stress, urge, overflow, or functional) helps us determine the most effective treatment.
Bladder Dysfunction: If you experience frequent urination, urgency, or difficulty emptying your bladder, this test can identify underlying causes.
Pelvic Floor Disorders: Urodynamics can help assess the impact of pelvic floor weaknesses on bladder function.

Before the test, we’ll explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you might have.

Urodynamic Testing

Here is the process

Catheter Insertion: A small catheter will be gently inserted into your bladder through the urethra. This allows us to measure the pressure inside your bladder during the test.

Filling Phase: We’ll gradually fill your bladder with a sterile solution while monitoring the pressures and sensations you experience.

Voiding Phase: When you feel the urge to urinate, we’ll ask you to void (urinate) into a special device that measures how well your bladder empties.

Throughout the test, our team will be monitoring various parameters, such as bladder pressure and flow rate. This data helps us understand how your bladder is functioning and identify any underlying issues.

Once the test is complete, we will discuss the results with you and outline potential treatment options based on our findings. The goal is to ensure you receive the most effective care tailored to your needs.
