Overactive Bladder – Diagnosis & Treatment

Urinalysis

Your doctor would also need a urine sample to find out any abnormalities. If there is any glucose or blood in your urine, it might indicate some issues with your bladder that would trigger this health issue. For instance, in a urodynamic test, the doctor will measure the ability of your bladder to empty properly. By doing this, the doctor will know if it contracts involuntarily or not. For the uroflowmetry, a device will be used to determine the speed and volume of urination. The results will suggest the strength of your bladder muscles. [3]
