BACKGROUND It is suggested that the body posture during urination can influence urodynamic parameters in patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) to an extent approaching pharmacological interventions. In this article, the influence of body position during micturition on maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), voiding time (TQ) and post-void residual volume (PVR) in healthy males and patient...

INTRODUCTION Parkinson disease (PD) patients present urinary symptoms during the course of the disease, very often suggestive of overactive bladder and sustained by neurogenic detrusor overactivity. These symptoms cause a severe lowering of quality of life determining social withdrawal and they need to be early diagnosed to restore social interaction and prevent urinary tract complications. Tod...

OBJECTIVE To determine the correlation of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) and bladder wall thickness (BWT) with clinical and urodynamic parameters, as well as their sensitivity and specificity with regard to bladder outlet obstruction in patients with a benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). MATERIALS AND METHODS 111 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and confirmed BPE completed ...

PURPOSE Underactive bladder is a complex clinical condition that remains poorly understood due to limited literature. This study aimed to determine its prevalence among patients with voiding dysfunction, presenting symptoms, risk factors, urodynamic findings, and ongoing treatment. METHODS A retrospective chart review of consecutive urodynamic studies performed on voiding dysfunction between ...

PURPOSE We aimed to determine the differences of the urodynamic findings of mix urinary incontinence (MUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and to evaluate the urodynamic findings in different groups by using bladder sensitivity index (BSI). MATERIALS AND METHODS The data of 99 patients who underwent urodynamic testing related to the suspicion of SUI, U...

PURPOSE Differences in the severity of subjective symptoms have been noted depending on whether a Hunner lesion is present in women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). In this study, we aimed to identify differences in objective urodynamic parameters in women with IC/BPS according to the presence of a Hunner lesion. METHODS This cross-sectional study included a total of...

Study design, materials and methods Informed consent was obtained and the study was approved by local human ethics committee. A midstream urine sample was collected for pH measurement immediately before the routine urodynamic test was performed. These samples were also tested for bacteriuria, and subjects found to have bacterial cystitis on the test day (10 7 c.f.u / L with pyuria >10 wbc / L) ...

There have no universally accepted criteria and have been established for classification of underactive bladder (UAB) at present. Thus, the study described the comprehensive clinical and urodynamic characteristics of UAB in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. A total of 1726 patients (1259men and 467women; 6–88 years old) whowere admitted to our center with a diagnosis of UABwere includ...
