Currently, urodynamic examination is performed for the purpose of diagnosis as well as study of lower urinary tract obstructive diseases, urinary incontinence, neurogenic voiding abnormalities, and enuresis.
Urodynamic examination is a way to understand the function and mechanism of the urinary tract in transporting, storing and discharging urine by measuring residual urine volume, urine flow rate, urethral pressure, bladder pressure and volume, etc. It can also be used to diagnose and examine urinary obstruction diseases.
Urodynamic examination can not only diagnose neurogenic urinary function abnormality, urinary incontinence, lower urinary tract obstructive disease, enuresis and other diseases, but also guide the treatment of related diseases and evaluate the therapeutic effect of various treatment programs.
In short, urodynamic tests are designed to diagnose diseases and provide a basis for further treatment.
Individuals should drink plenty of water before the urodynamics test and also after the test, and seek professional help if infection or hematuria worsens after the test.
