Urodynamic testing in Lugano

A urodynamic study is a specialist investigation that allows for the study of bladder and urethral function during the filling and emptying phases. It may be indicated in the presence of urinary disorders such as involuntary leakage, sudden urgency, frequent urination, difficulty emptying the bladder, or symptoms related to prolapse.

At Goinè Medical Center, the examination is part of a broader urogynecological pathway, always preceded by a specialist evaluation. The objective is not limited to a single technical data point, but to understand the origin of the disorder and define a treatment plan truly suited to the patient.

The approach is attentive, confidential, and personalized, with clear explanations provided before the examination and dedicated guidance based on the clinical picture.

Understanding the origin of urinary disorders

A useful examination for defining a more precise pathway

Urinary disorders can have various causes and manifest in different ways: some patients report leakage during physical exertion, others experience sudden urgency, while others perceive difficulty in emptying the bladder or a frequent need to urinate.

The urodynamic study helps the specialist evaluate how the bladder behaves during filling and emptying, providing useful information to distinguish between different forms of incontinence and to better understand any functional alterations.

At Goinè Medical Center, the examination is proposed when truly indicated and interpreted alongside the consultation, the symptoms reported by the patient, and any other further investigations. This allows for the creation of a more targeted pathway, which may include behavioral guidance, conservative therapies, medical treatments, rehabilitation, or surgical solutions in selected cases.

The pathway for urodynamic testing

Initial evaluation

The process begins with a specialist consultation during which symptoms, clinical history, any pregnancies, previous surgeries, and the impact of the urinary disorder on daily life are gathered.

Performing the examination

The examination allows for the observation of bladder behavior during the filling and emptying phases, collecting useful data to better understand the type of disorder present.

Interpretation and treatment pathway

The results are evaluated by the specialist together with the overall clinical picture, in order to define the most suitable pathway for the patient’s needs.
