Urodynamics Study
This series of tests measures pressures in your bladder and urethra and helps determine how well your bladder holds and empties urine. These tests can help evaluate whether you need surgery to treat or prevent urinary leakage.
Cystoscopy
Cystoscopy uses a lighted flexible telescope to look at the inside of your bladder. With cystoscopy, we can see if your bladder is inflamed or has other abnormalities that may be causing problems.
Ultrasound
To create an image of your pelvic organs, or the muscles of your pelvic floor, ultrasound uses a transducer probe, an instrument that sends and receives painless sound waves. This probe might be placed on your abdomen or in or near your vagina and/or rectum to capture images.
Manometry
For patients with bowel leakage, it may be important to determine the resting and “squeeze” pressure in your rectum and anal canal. A very small flexible tube is used in your rectum to “map” the pressure zones.
