Office Tests
Urodynamic Testing: when will I get results?
What is the short answer?
Some results are seen right away.
Our urologists will review them in detail with you.
When should I make an appointment?
Get checked if leaks, urgency, or a weak stream haven't improved with treatment.
Where will I be seen?
Our Conyers Clinic at 1366 Wellbrook Circle Suite B, Conyers, GA 30012 is where we hold appointments, run lab work and do in-office tests, and we’d be happy to book you there.
How do our urologists approach this?
Urodynamic testing shows how your bladder fills, stores and empties, and our Conyers urologists use it when symptoms haven’t improved with first treatments. Some findings are clear during the test itself. We then put everything together, including your bladder diary and exam, and go over what it means for your treatment. That might be medicine, Botox, InterStim, Altaviva, Bulkamid, a sling or a prostate procedure.
What happens at a visit?
On test day, come with a comfortably full bladder unless we tell you otherwise. Bring your medicine list. Small catheters measure pressure while the bladder is filled and emptied, and we explain each step as we go. Plan on a follow-up visit to go over the full results.
How should I prepare?
Keep a bladder diary for two or three days before the test, and bring it with your medicine list. Wear comfortable clothes. Allow a little extra time for the visit.
When should I call?
Call us if you have burning, fever or blood in your urine in the days after testing, or if you haven’t been scheduled for your results visit.
What do people in Conyers ask us?
These are the questions we hear most, each with a short answer.
Do I need to prepare?
Usually you’ll come with a comfortably full bladder. We’ll tell you if any medicines should be paused.
Who looks at the results?
Our urologists review them in detail and go over them with you.
Will it hurt?
The catheters are small, and most people find it more awkward than painful. We’ll talk you through it.
