    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in women can stem from diverse etiologies.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment of female LUTS.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of double balloon urethrography in diagnosing female lower urinary tract disorders.
    • To establish indications for this imaging modality in clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Seventy-six women with lower urinary tract pain underwent urethrography.
    • The double balloon method, as described by Davis and Cian, was employed.
    • Morphological findings were correlated with clinical, anamnestic, and urodynamic data.

    Main Results:

    • The study identified specific indications for double balloon urethrography.
    • This method is valuable for differentiating suburethral tumors from urethral diverticula.
    • It aids in diagnosing recurrent urinary tract infections and urethral syndrome.

    Conclusions:

    • Double balloon urethrography is a valuable diagnostic tool for complex female lower urinary tract issues.
    • It provides essential information for differential diagnosis and management planning.
    • Indications include suspected fistulas, functional disturbances, and post-catheterization pain.
