Urodynamic Studies

Urodynamic studies are tests that evaluate how well the bladder and urethra function. They measure the pressures and volumes in the bladder as it fills and empties, helping to diagnose issues like urinary incontinence, frequent urination, or difficulty urinating. During the procedure, a healthcare provider may insert thin tubes into the bladder and vagina or rectum to gather data. The results can help determine the best treatment options for bladder and urinary issues, providing insight into the underlying causes of a patient's symptoms.
