Your urologist has scheduled a UroCuff® Test to determine the source of your urinary symptoms. The following information will address common questions prior to your test.
What does the UroCuff Test do?
The UroCuff Test determines how well your bladder is functioning, and gauges its ability to effectively empty.
What's the purpose of The UroCuff Test?
Using the information from this test, your urologist will better understand the causes of your symptoms, and will help determine a treatment plan that is best for you.
Should I take my medication on the day of my UroCuff Test?
Yes. Bladder function testing does not require that you miss any doses of your normally prescribed medication.
How should I prepare for my bladder function test?
You will be asked to urinate for your UroCuff Test, so it is very important that you arrive to the urologist's office on the day of your test with a comfortably full bladder.
What will happen during my test?
When you are ready for the test, you will be brought to a private room. A small cuff is fitted to your penis, and surface electrodes may also be placed on your abdomen and/or perineum.
You will be asked to void into a portable toilet. While you’re voiding, the cuff will apply pressure until your urine flow is reduced or stopped.
The inflation intervals will continue until you’ve emptied your bladder completely. The cuff and electrodes will then be removed.
