    Study Notes

    Urological Studies

    • Urodynamic studies provide valuable information on detrusor function.
    • Imaging studies, such as fluoroscopy, CT, or MRI, assist in identifying fistulas, strictures, bladder diverticula, or tumors.
    • Urodynamic studies are recommended for patients with:
      • Persistent lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)
      • Suspicion of bladder outlet obstruction
      • Neurological disorders affecting the lower urinary tract
      • Previous urinary tract surgery or trauma
    • Referral to a urologist is recommended for men with:
      • LUTS persisting after treatment
      • Suspicion of prostate cancer
      • Abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) findings
    • Specialized tests, such as uroflowmetry and pressure-flow studies, should be individualized to evaluate the presence of:
      • Urethral strictures
      • Obstructive prostate
      • Bladder stones
      • Tumors
