About Paediatric Urodynmics

Paediatric urodynamics is a specialized diagnostic procedure performed by a urologist to assess how well a child's bladder and urethra are storing and releasing urine. It provides a detailed, real-time evaluation of bladder function, pressure, and coordination with the urinary sphincter. This test is crucial for diagnosing complex voiding dysfunctions, neurogenic bladder conditions, and unexplained incontinence in children. By measuring bladder capacity, pressure during filling and emptying, and flow rate, it helps pinpoint the exact cause of urinary problems, guiding the development of a precise and effective treatment plan tailored to the child's unique needs.

Key Highlights

    Provides a precise, real-time functional map of the child's bladder and urethra.Essential for diagnosing complex or neurogenic bladder conditions that standard tests may miss.Guides the development of highly personalized and effective treatment plans.Minimally invasive and typically well-tolerated by children with proper preparation.Helps prevent long-term kidney damage by identifying high-pressure bladder conditions early.

  • The child should arrive with a comfortably full bladder for initial non-invasive flow rate tests.
  • Treatment of any active urinary tract infection with antibiotics prior to the test.
  • In some cases, a mild laxative may be recommended to ensure the rectum is empty for accurate pressure readings.
  • Use of topical anesthetic cream at the catheter insertion sites to minimize discomfort.
  • For older children, a clear explanation of the process using child-friendly terms to reduce fear.

Risks & possible complications
