Urodynamics Lab
Urodynamics is a series of tests that evaluate how well the bladder and urethra are functioning in terms of storing and releasing urine. These tests help diagnose issues related to urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, and other urinary disorders. At Revere Health’s Urodynamics Lab, we provide comprehensive assessments to identify the root causes of bladder dysfunction and develop personalized treatment plans to improve urinary health.
What Urodynamic Testing Involves
Bladder Pressure Measurement: Assesses how much urine the bladder can hold, how well it stores urine, and how effectively it empties.
Flow Rate Testing: Measures the speed and volume of urine flow, which can reveal obstructions or other issues.
Leakage Evaluation: Tests for urinary incontinence and the bladder’s response to pressure or movement.
Post-Void Residual Measurement: Determines the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination, which helps assess bladder emptying efficiency.
Conditions Diagnosed by Urodynamics
Urinary Incontinence: Determines the cause of leakage, whether stress incontinence, urge incontinence, or a combination.
Overactive Bladder: Identifies involuntary bladder contractions that lead to frequent or urgent urination.
Bladder Obstruction: Detects blockages that may cause difficulty emptying the bladder.
Neurogenic Bladder: Assesses bladder function in patients with nerve-related issues affecting bladder control.
Benefits of Urodynamic Testing
Accurate Diagnosis: Provides detailed insights into the function of the bladder and urethra, helping identify the exact cause of urinary symptoms.
Tailored Treatment: Results from the tests guide personalized treatment plans to address specific bladder issues.
Non-Invasive and Safe: Most tests are non-invasive, with minimal discomfort, and can be completed in a short office visit.
