Urodynamic evaluation in women with frequency, urgency symptoms

Urinary frequency, urgency, bladder discomfort, and incontinence are among the most common causes for women to seek urologic evaluation. The value of endoscopy and radiographic studies is limited because they define only structural problems. This study presents 325 women who, in addition, underwent multifunction urodynamic study to identify functional problems. The merits and role of this investigation in the workup of this population group is discussed, together with the therapeutic implications of the various results.
