Urodynamic Testing

Urodynamic testing, or urodynamics, refers to a group of tests that assess how the bladder and urethra perform their job of storing and releasing urine, evaluating lower urinary tract function by measuring urinary flow and pressure during bladder filling and voiding. The tests help explain conditions such as incontinence, frequent or painful urination, difficulty starting urination, incomplete bladder emptying and recurrent urinary tract infections, and specific urodynamic tests include cystometry, uroflowmetry, urethral pressure profilometry and leak point pressure measurement, typically performed by trained healthcare professionals in specialized urology or urogynecology settings.
