Summary
Disbalanced voiding in women is linked to lower urinary tract obstruction and abnormal detrusor contractility. While obstruction is not associated with cystocele, abnormal contractility shows a significant association.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Female Pelvic Medicine
Context:
- Post-void residual urine, or disbalanced voiding, affects a significant portion of women.
- Understanding the interplay between voiding dysfunction, lower urinary tract obstruction, and pelvic organ prolapse is crucial for effective management.
Purpose:
- To investigate the clinical and urodynamic characteristics of women experiencing disbalanced voiding.
- To determine the association between disbalanced voiding, lower urinary tract obstruction, and the presence and grade of cystocele.
Summary:
- This study analyzed 119 women, identifying disbalanced voiding in 21.9%.
- Disbalanced voiding was associated with increased urethral resistance, constrictive/compressive obstruction, and detrusor abnormal contractility.
- While obstruction was not linked to cystocele, abnormal detrusor contractility showed a significant association with cystocele grade.
Impact:
- Findings highlight the complex etiology of disbalanced voiding in women.
- Differentiates the roles of obstruction and detrusor function in relation to cystocele.
- Informs targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for women with voiding dysfunction and pelvic floor disorders.
