Description

Urinary incontinence is an inability to hold urine until you get to a toilet (unintentional loss of urine). It is often temporary, and it always results from an underlying medical condition. Overall this is about 4 in 100 adults, and well over half of these are due to stress incontinence. Stress incontinence becomes more common in older women. As many as 1 in 5 women over the age of 40 have some degree of stress incontinence with affected quality of life. Specialised tests Your doctor may order urodynamic tests, which are used to assess the function of your bladder. Common tests include: Measurements of postvoid residual urine. When you urinate or experience urinary incontinence, your bladder may not empty completely. To measure residual urine after you have voided, a thin tube (catheter) is passed through the urethra and into your bladder. The catheter drains the remaining urine, which can then be measured. Alternatively, a specialist may use an ultrasound scan, which translates sound waves into an image of your bladder and its contents. Measuring bladder pressure. Cystometry measures pressure in your bladder and in the surrounding region during bladder filling. A catheter is used to fill your bladder slowly with warm water. This procedure, when combined with a voiding study, tells whether the muscle that connects the urethra to the bladder (urinary sphincter) exerts enough pressure to keep the urethra closed as bladder pressure rises. Creating images of the bladder as it functions. Video urodynamics use either X-ray or ultrasound waves to create pictures of the bladder as it fills and empties. Warm water mixed with a dye that shows up on X-rays is gradually instilled in the bladder via a catheter while the images are recorded. When your bladder is full, the imaging continues as you urinate to empty your bladder. This test is often combined with cystometry.
