Urodynamic Testing

Comprehensive Urodynamic Testing for Bladder and Urinary Health

Urodynamic testing is a specialized procedure that evaluates how well the bladder, urethra, and sphincter muscles store and release urine. This test is often recommended for patients who experience urinary issues such as incontinence, frequent urination, or difficulty emptying the bladder. Dr. Horovitz, an expert urologist, offers advanced urodynamic testing to accurately diagnose the underlying causes of these symptoms and develop effective treatment plans.

Why Urodynamic Testing May Be Necessary

Urodynamic testing provides valuable information about bladder function and can help diagnose conditions such as:

• Urinary incontinence (leakage)

• Overactive bladder (OAB)

• Difficulty urinating or retaining urine

• Frequent urinary tract infections

• Neurological conditions affecting bladder control

Dr. Horovitz uses urodynamic testing to understand how the bladder and urinary system function, allowing him to tailor treatment plans based on each patient's precise needs.

What to Expect During Urodynamic Testing

The urodynamic testing process is straightforward and typically performed in Dr. Horovitz’s office. During the test:

• Bladder Function is Monitored: A catheter is gently inserted into the bladder to measure pressure as it fills and empties.

• Muscle Activity is Evaluated: Sensors may be placed around the urethra and rectum to assess the activity of the muscles involved in urination.

• Flow Rates are Recorded: The rate and force of urination are measured to detect any abnormalities in how urine flows from the bladder.

The testing process is generally painless, although patients may experience mild discomfort. The results provide crucial insights into how the bladder and urethra are functioning, which helps guide treatment decisions.
