Urodünaamilist

Urodünaamilist refers to the study of the movement and pressures within the urinary tract. It encompasses the evaluation of how the bladder stores and eliminates urine and how the ureters, bladder, and urethra function together to achieve this process. Urodynamic testing is a diagnostic tool used to assess these functions, particularly when there are concerns about urinary incontinence, difficulty urinating, or recurrent urinary tract infections. These tests can help identify problems with bladder muscle contraction, bladder outlet obstruction, or coordination between the bladder and the sphincter muscles.

The common types of urodynamic tests include uroflowmetry, which measures the speed and volume of urine flow; post-void residual measurement, which assesses how much urine remains in the bladder after voiding; and cystometry, which measures bladder pressure during filling and emptying. More complex tests like pressure-flow studies and electromyography (EMG) can provide further detail on bladder and sphincter muscle activity. Urodynamic evaluations are typically performed by urologists or urogynecologists and are valuable in guiding treatment decisions for various lower urinary tract symptoms.
