Urodynamic assessment is a highly specialised and sophisticated method of making a scientifically accurate diagnosis of the causes of incontinence, lower urinary tract dysfunction and prolapse.

A urodynamic recording system measuring all the relevant functions of the bladder is connected to a computer used to measure, integrate and correlate urine flow rate, bladder capacity and muscular and nervous control of the bladder. At the same time the bladder, urethra and pelvic floor is observed via either x-ray or ultrasound.

The assessment is relatively inexpensive, does not take long, does not require the use of drugs and gives minimal discomfort.

At the conclusion of the investigation the cause of the lower urinary symptoms is established and a recommendation is made for appropriate treatment. This is then sent to the referring doctor who organises the management.

Appointments can be made after referral through general practitioners or gynaecologists and urologists.
