Urodynamics Testing

Like tkrik I thought it was an interesting test. It doesn't hurt and since the tech's do it all day it wasn't embarrasing, I was just another patient. I was more interested in the results and the nurse/tech did give me a hint that there was a problem.

Good luck with your test.

Jim's had it done and survived just fine. They measure your output and things like that. If they do a rectal tube, they didn't on Jim, it's to check your sphincter response. Sometimes the sphincter muscle is the culprit so they check it to be sure. This is what we were told if they needed to do that.

Wishing you well and praying for a good outcome.

Thank you, Sandy. I sometimes have what feels like muscle spasms in the sphincter muscle....I wonder if I should tell them that when I go.

Thanks for the prayers! How is Jim doing?

jenn,

i would disclose the spasms and all your hx.
that will help the staff care for you and make you comfortable.

the staff at my dr's office were so helpful, comforting and professional.
just remember that they have seen bodies for a long time. they won't be embarrassed altho i know how the patient feels.

Thank you. I'm sure I'll find it interesting, but it will be hard not to be embarrassed. I think that the person doing it is a woman, so that will help.
