28. Assessing Pubococcygeus muscle function Inspection Perineum buldging downward Vaginal introitus opens Anus everted Performing straining or coughing Contraction of pubococcygeus m.

29. Cystocele and Prolapse

30. Assessing Pubococcygeus muscle function Palpation In normal vagina, resistance is met in all direction by finger palpation The atrophied pubococcygeus m. is not easily palpated with little resistance One third of women have a good voluntary contraction function

32. Voluntary Contraction of Pelvic Floor Muscles

33. Pad Weighing Test for Stress Urinary Incontinence Provide semi-objective measurement of urine loss 1 hr, 2 hr, 24 hr, 48 hr test Drink 500ml, walking & stair climbing 30 min, standing up 10x, coughing 10x, running 1 min, bending 5x, wash hands 1 min Pad weight gain by 1 gm

34. Laboratory examinations Urinalysis & urine culture- evidence of pus cells and bacteria in urine Blood chemistry, blood sugar- azotemia, diabetes may cause polyuria, detrusor underactivity KUB- a lower ureteral stone cause storage symptoms and empty symptoms

35. Office Urodynamic Study Uroflowmetry Postvoid residual urine (PVR) Cystometry with or without EMG Potassium chloride test

36. Uroflowmetry – Parameters

37. Uroflowmetry – Intermittent flow

38. Uroflowmetry – Straining flow

39. Uroflowmetry – Low contractility

40. Uroflowmetry – Obstructive flow

41. Voiding Cystometry (Pressure flow study) Filling cystometry cannot diagnose 24% of the patients with LUTS Patients with voiding symptoms should undergo pressure flow study Detrusor underactivity, bladder outlet obstruction, postvoid detrusor contraction, occult neuropathic detrusor overactivity

42. Multi-channel Pressure Flow Study

48. SCI & NVD – Type 1 DESD

49. DI & voluntary PFM contraction

54. Potassium Test A test for urothelium leak syndrome 40mL of 0.4M KCL was infused into the bladder following normal saline Record the pain scale after KCl test: nil, burning, tingling, dull pain, sharp pain, urgency Acute and irradiation cystitis: 100% Interstitial cystitis: 80%

55. Increased Bladder sensation after KCl infusion

56. Potassium sensitivity test in women with frequency urgency and IC In 196 women with frequency urgency and/or pain, 138 had a positive KCl test (70.4%) 128 women with a positive KCl test, 44 (34.4%)proven IC and 84 non-IC A positive KCl test indicates urothelial leak but not characteristic IC, nor can bladder pain predict IC

57. Postvoid Residual Volume Estimated immediately after voiding Transabdominal ultrasound provides accurate volume estimation Diuresis may falsely increase PVR Patient might not void completely due to embarrassment Do not forget PVR in clinical assessment of LUTS
