Voiding Dysfunction
Voiding dysfunction can manifest as a wide range of symptoms which can include difficulty in emptying bladder, urinary hesitancy, slow or weak urine stream, urinary urgency, urinary frequency or dribbling of urine.
Voiding dysfunction can be due to nerve dysfunction, non-relaxing pelvic floor muscles or both.
Voiding dysfunction is also classified as being caused by either underactivity of the bladder (detrusor) or outflow (urethra). Evaluation by a clinician may include tests, such as uroflowmetry, post-void residual and pressure flow studies. Treatment is individualized, depending on specific aetiology.
