Interventions infobox Name Cystometry Image Cystometrogram.png Caption Example cystometrogram. ICD10 ICD9 ICD9proc 89.22 MeshID OtherCodes Cystometry , also known as flow cystometry , is a clinical diagnostic procedure used to evaluate bladder function. Specifically, it measures contractile force of the bladder when urination voiding . The resulting chart generated from cystometric analysis is known as a cystometrogram CMG , which plots volume of liquid emptied from bladder against vesical intravesical pressure. Use Image Cystometry.png thumb right Diagram of cystometry in a female patient. Cystometric analysis is used to evaluate the bladder s capacity to contract and expel urine. It helps determine the source of urinary problems. A normal CMG effectively rules out primary vesical dysfunction. It is used as a component for diagnosis of various disorders including urinary tract infection s, multiple sclerosis , stroke , spinal cord injury, urethra l obstruction, and overactive bladder , among others. ref name medlinecystometry cite web title MedlinePlus Cystometric study url http www.nlm.nih.gov medlineplus ency article 003904.htm accessdate 2008 08 04 ref Procedure The procedure is relatively short, ranging from fifteen minutes ref name umichcystometry cite web title University of Michigan Health System Cystometrogram url http www.med.umich.edu 1libr urology cystometrogram.htm accessdate 2008 08 04 ref to an hour in duration. ref name chicagocystometry cite web title Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery & Neuroresearch Cystometrogram url http www.cinn.org diagnostic cystometrogram.html accessdate 2008 08 04 ref It involves the insertion of one or two catheter s into an emptied bladder through the urethra.

Infobox Disease Name PAGENAME Image Gray404.png Caption Pelvic floor DiseasesDB ICD10 N39.3 ICD9 ICD9 788.31 ICDO OMIM MedlinePlus eMedicineSubj eMedicineTopic MeshID D014550 Stress incontinence is a form of urinary incontinence . Stress urinary incontinence SUI , also known as effort incontinence , is due essentially to insufficient strength of the pelvic floor muscles. Pathophysiology It is the loss of small amounts of urine associated with coughing , laughter laughing , sneezing , exercising or other movements that increase intra abdominal pressure and thus increase pressure on the bladder. The urethra is supported by fascia of the pelvic floor. If this support is insufficient, the urethra can move downward at times of increased abdominal pressure, allowing urine to pass. Most lab results such as urine analysis , cystometry and postvoid residual volume are normal. Some sources distinguish between urethral hypermobility and intrinsic sphincter deficiency. ref name pmid19802505 cite journal author Haliloglu B, Karateke A, Coksuer H, Peker H, Cam C title The role of urethral hypermobility and intrinsic sphincteric deficiency on the outcome of transobturator tape procedure a prospective study with 2 year follow up journal Int Urogynecol J Pelvic Floor Dysfunct volume 21 issue 2 pages 173 8 year 2010 month February pmid 19802505 doi 10.1007 s00192 009 1010 y ref The latter is more rare, and requires different surgical approaches. In men Stress incontinence is rare in men. The most common cause is as a post surgical complication following a prostatectomy . In women In women, physical changes resulting from pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause often contribute to stress incontinence. Stress incontinence can worsen during the week before the menstrual period. At that time, lowered estrogen levels may lead to lower muscular pressure around the urethra, increasing chances of leakage. The incidence of stress incontinence increases following menopause, similarly because of l ... more details
