What To Expect at Your Urogynecological Consultatiion

Our specialized diagnostic laboratory features an array of technologically advanced diagnostic equipment which enables identification and treatment of a variety of urogynecological illnesses and conditions.

Diagnostic tests include:

• Multichannel urodynamics, a series of different measurements of bladder function that helps determine the cause of a variety of bladder conditions. It involves using catheters to measure bladder pressure and urine output. Most women describe it as uncomfortable, but not painful. It helps your doctor ascertain information such as how well your bladder functions and whether there are problems related to your bladder, your urethra (the tube the urine passes through when you urinate) and/or the muscles of your pelvis.
• Electromyography, a test that checks the health of your pelvic muscles. It involves insertion of a very small needle electrode which measures the electrical activity of muscle tissue.
• Cystourethroscopy, an endoscopic procedure that enables your doctor to examine the interior of your bladder and, if necessary, take tissue samples for biopsy.

Each of these tests can be performed in our comfortable office setting. Utilizing this sophisticated technology, women can expect an accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan.
