Urinary Incontinence Testing and Treatment Options

Urinary Incontinence Testing in Charleston, SC

Urinary incontinence is a common gynecologic concern, but many women put off discussing symptoms because the topic can feel uncomfortable. At Charleston Women’s Wellness Center, our team provides respectful, confidential evaluation and testing to help determine the specific type of incontinence and the most appropriate next step for care.

Our urinary incontinence testing in Charleston, SC is part of our broader gynecology services, giving patients access to focused women’s health support in one convenient setting.

Diagnostic Testing May Include:

Uroflowmetry A test that measures the rate of urinary flow and provides helpful information about how the bladder and urethra function during urination.
Cystometrograms Studies that measure bladder pressure during filling and emptying to help evaluate bladder function.
Cystoscopy A minimally invasive procedure using a small telescope to view the inside of the bladder and identify possible abnormalities.
Videourodynamics A study that combines X-ray imaging with pressure measurements to monitor bladder function during filling and emptying.

These diagnostic tools help identify the underlying cause of urinary leakage, urgency, or bladder control issues. Once the type of incontinence is better understood, treatment options may include lifestyle guidance, pelvic floor support, medication, in-office care, or surgical referral when appropriate.

When to Ask About Incontinence Testing

You may benefit from an evaluation if you experience leaking when coughing, laughing, sneezing, exercising, or lifting; sudden urgency that is hard to control; frequent nighttime urination; or bladder symptoms that interfere with daily activities.
