A urodynamics study is a specialized medical test designed to assess the function and efficiency of your urinary system, particularly the bladder and urethra. During the procedure, a trained healthcare provider will insert small, soft catheters into your bladder and rectum, and possibly place electrodes on your skin to measure muscle activity. You'll then be asked to perform specific tasks, such as coughing or urinating, while sensors record pressure and flow rates in your bladder and urethra. This comprehensive evaluation helps diagnose conditions like urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, or difficulty emptying the bladder. The results guide your healthcare team in developing a personalized treatment plan to address your urinary concerns and improve your overall quality of life. It's a safe and valuable tool for better understanding and managing urinary issues.
