Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Voiding dysfunction in women stems from inadequate bladder contraction or poor relaxation of the urethra/bladder neck.
  • Urinary frequency and urgency are common symptoms, sometimes accompanied by postvoid fullness, poor flow, hesitancy, or retention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for female voiding dysfunction.
  • To emphasize the importance of urodynamic evaluation for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing obstructive uroflowmetry and elevated residual urine as screening tests.
  • Performing complete multichannel urodynamic evaluation for definitive diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • Therapeutic strategies focus on enhancing bladder contractility or alleviating bladder outlet obstruction.

  • Acute urinary retention requires initial management via bladder decompression through catheterization.

    • Conclusions:

    • Clean intermittent self-catheterization is a viable alternative when other therapies fail.
    • Self-catheterization helps maintain low intravesical pressure and residual urine, reducing infection risk.
