urodynamic study




previously i wonder what is this test.. always heard consultant said if patient with problem of passing urine, should send them for urodynamic study..

it sound like :"wow" ...

seem like: "i will solve all your water work or plumbing problem"

now after seeing and performing this test.. it is actually nothing great..
just a diagnostic tool, and then the usual phase of doctor: "continue the same"
haha...

how to do it? hmmm it is weird, like some sort of crazy lab performing incredible hulk transforming procedure.. .. .. to the private part..

it need 2 transducers, each to the different hole of perineum, ie the urethral meatus and anus
with 2 wires connecting to the computer.

besides, it need also 3 taps, 2 tapping at both sides of the anus, and 1 at the thigh..
with wires connecting to the computer as well..

then with water instilling into the bladder through the penile transducer, the computer will measure the water work and pressure change etc etc etc..

interpretation is by manual, and all the high 5 term and medical jagons being used

and.. and... the management plan is the typical words: "continue the same"
