Abstract
Urodynamic testing is an invasive procedure. At the minimum, a urethral catheter and a rectal balloon must be inserted. The risk of iatrogenic bacterial cystitis is about 2 %. Studies show that urodynamic testing is not cost effective in all patients with urinary leakage, because it does not always affect management. For example, women with mild stress incontinence may be rapidly cured by physiotherapy and never need urodynamic testing.
