Female voiding dysfunction mechanisms remain unclear, lacking standard diagnostic and treatment guidelines. This review covers current data and controversies in non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Female Pelvic Medicine

Background:

  • Female voiding phase dysfunction pathophysiology is poorly understood.
  • Lack of standardized definitions and treatment guidelines complicates diagnosis and management.
  • This review addresses current data and controversies in non-neurogenic female voiding dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current data and controversies regarding non-neurogenic female voiding dysfunction.
  • To present up-to-date information on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent findings on female voiding dysfunction.
  • Analysis of current data on prevalence, etiology, and diagnosis.
  • Highlighting new advances in the field.

Main Results:

  • Voiding dysfunction can stem from bladder causes (detrusor underactivity/arreflexia) or urethral causes (functional/anatomical obstruction).
  • Precise prevalence and contribution of each mechanism are unknown.
  • Diagnosis is challenging due to overlapping symptoms and often inconclusive urodynamic evaluations, despite their essential role.

Conclusions:

  • Further epidemiological and pathophysiological research is crucial to identify causes and risk factors.
  • Enhanced understanding of mechanisms may lead to improved diagnostic and treatment strategies, reducing unnecessary interventions.
