voiding pressure

Voiding pressure refers to the force exerted by the bladder muscles during urination. When the bladder is full, the muscles contract to push urine out through the urethra. The amount of pressure needed depends on how full the bladder is and the strength of these muscles. Normal voiding pressure indicates healthy bladder function, allowing for effective urination without difficulty. Elevated or reduced voiding pressure can suggest issues like bladder outlet obstruction or weak bladder muscles, respectively. Overall, it’s a key measure used by healthcare providers to assess bladder health and function during urination.
