Aims:
To identify urinary symptoms and morbidity after ambulatory urodynamics.
Methods:
One hundred consecutive women underwent ambulatory urodynamics for a variety of urinary complaints. Urinary symptom questionnaires were collected before investigation and again 48 hours later, reporting dysuria and haematuria. Women were screened for urinary tract infection before investigation and again 48 hours later.
Results:
Of the 91 women who completed the study, 1 (1.1%) had a positive urinary culture after the investigation but was asymptomatic. Seventeen women reported mild to moderate de novo dysuria.
Conclusions:
Urinary symptoms and morbidity after ambulatory monitoring is low.
