A urodynamic study is a functional examination of the bladder and urethra to assess urinary incontinence.
It is performed by a nurse and a doctor on an outpatient basis and it takes approximately 1 hour.
The urodynamic specialist is Dr. Michal Ogrodnik, MD, PhD.
The main groups of patients with indications for functional diagnosis include:
- Women with stress urinary incontinence and urge incontinence
- Women and men with symptoms of overactive bladder (frequent urination, urgency and incontinence)
- Men qualifying for prostate surgery
- Children and adults whose bladder dysfunction is secondary to disease or injury to the nervous system (e.g. multiple sclerosis)
- Other patients whose clinical problem remains incontinence or inability to empty the bladder well (significant urine retention in the bladder after micturition)
