Urodynamics

Urodynamics involves a series of bladder tests to objectively assess your overall bladder function such as the ability to store and pass urine and also determining the type of urinary incontinence. 

A cystoscopy will be performed concurrently to rule out bladder or urethral pathology.

The test is usually reserved for patients with conditions listed as below:

• Failed conservative or medical therapy for urinary incontinence

  • Stress incontinence failed to improve with pelvic floor muscle training (PMFT)

  • Overactive bladder symptoms or urge urinary incontinence failed to respond to PMFT, bladder retraining or oral medications

• Complex bladder symptoms when incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse surgery is contemplated

• Suspicion of a voiding disorder

• Previous unsuccessful incontinence surgery

• Neurological related bladder disorders
