Cystometry

Measurement of bladder capacity and pressure.


A technique for measuring the pressure in the urinary bladder as part of a urodynamic investigation to assess the functioning of the bladder.


A diagnostic examination to assess the functionality of the bladder, involving the measurement of pressure and fluid volume within the bladder throughout the stages of filling, storage, and emptying.


A diagnostic procedure employed to evaluate bladder function, investigate urinary incontinence or incomplete bladder emptying, and detect potential nerve-related abnormalities is known as urodynamic testing. This procedure involves the insertion of a catheter into the bladder, allowing for the measurement of internal pressure as the bladder is gradually filled and subsequently emptied. By monitoring the changes in pressure throughout the process, healthcare providers gain valuable insights into bladder function and identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to urinary symptoms. Urodynamic testing plays a crucial role in guiding appropriate treatment strategies tailored to the individual’s specific needs.
