After vitals are checked and your medical history is confirmed, Dr. Lotze will greet you and then perform a comprehensive physical exam. Depending on your condition, an examination could include a pelvic exam (pap smear) to evaluate for pelvic support, nerve function and strength. Dr. Lotze may also take a post void residual measurement to see if your bladder is emptying appropriately. WHAT TO EXPECT Based on your initial evaluation, additional testing may be ordered to better understand what is happening and provide insight on ideal therapy options. Additional testing may include: Urine analysis and urine culture – to screen for infection Cystoscopy – This is a procedure that uses a thin tube with a camera and light on the end (cystoscope). During a cystoscopy, this tube is inserted through your urethra and into your bladder so Dr. Lotze can visualize the inside of your bladder. Your urethra is the tube that carries urine out of your bladder. Urodynamics – urodynamic testing or urodynamics is a study that assesses how the bladder and urethra are performing their job of storing and releasing urine. Urodynamic tests can help explain symptoms such as incontinence, frequent urination, and/or sudden or strong urges to urinate but nothing comes out.
