• Urodynamic testing (UDS) is a way for your doctor to understand how your bladder and urethra are working. It can help diagnose conditions like overactive bladder, incontinence, or trouble emptying your bladder

• Glean is a next-generation urodynamics system. It gives a clear and complete picture of how your bladder functions in real time. It’s designed to be comfortable, efficient, and accurate.

• In the exam room, a small sensor is gently inserted into your bladder to measure pressure. You’ll sit in the waiting room or walk around the clinic, documenting your bladder symptoms throughout the test. The test usually takes 1-2 hours.

•You may feel pressure or an urge to urinate, but it should not hurt. The Glean sensor is very small and placed with care.

• If you’re having bladder problems, this test helps us understand what’s going on so that we can choose the right treatment. It’s especially helpful when symptoms aren’t improving or when a procedure is being considered.

•Arrive with a comfortably full bladder
•You may be asked to stop or start certain bladder medications prior to testing
•Let your doctor know if you have acute urinary tract infection symptoms (i.e. burning with urination, painful urination, fever or chills)

• We will schedule a time with you to review the test results and propose the best treatment plan for you.

• You can return to normal activities right away. Some people feel a bit of discomfort when urinating afterward, but it usually goes away within a few hours. Drinking water can help. You may also take over the counter AZO® Urinary Pain Relief Maximum Strength Tablets as needed for discomfort.
