Urodynamics is a diagnostic procedure
What else should I be aware of prior to testing:
Urodynamics is a diagnostic procedure
a “stress test” for the bladder, that helps urologist understand how your bladder is functioning. This procedure also helps to determine the interaction between your brain and the nerves and muscles involved in urination. It is a procedure that does not require sedation and takes about an hour to complete. Diagnostic accuracy is improved with this procedure, allowing your urologist to provide you with the most appropriate treatment plan.
