Urogynecologist

I am going to see a urogynecologist next week - they said the exam will take 1 hour - what are they going to do? FYI - I am going for urinary incontinence.

They'll probably do a complete pelvic exam and catheterize you several times during the examination to check for residual urine etc. They will probably do a Q-tip test where they insert a Q-tip into your urethra and then have you bear down to check to see if your a candidate for a sling procedure. They will probably give you a Urodynamic study and observe your urine flow etc. How about keeping us posted on what transpired during your appointment. I've read that Urogynecologist are a lot more thorough than a regular Gyn.

That is just about what will be done. Don't worry about it. It may be uncomfortable at times, but everyone comes through this just fine.

Just don't worry about it.

If you orgasm, squirting, or peeing during exam it is normally. Don't hold it, let it go....

If you embarrassing is normal also... but like I said, let it go, let it come, because the doctor know it's normal and good to you....

Don't worry, this WILL NOT happen. I promise. You can trust me on this.

Had the exam - it was much more thorough than my regular gyn exam - but i was expecting a different exam chair and it was just the normal stirrups.

After many messages to post details about my exam, here goes...I arrived at the office at 10 AM with a full bladder and the need to pee....I waited in the waiting room for about 3 minutes as I was the only patient there - a little scary. I was escorted into the exam room and a nurse took my bp, weight, etc. Then I was told to take everything off from the waste down and sit on the exam table. They did give me a very small cover, but it ended up getting in the way of the doctor..so she got rid of it. Then, the doctor walked in. She spoke to me about medical history then asked me to sit on this special toilet to pee. The toilet was hooked up to a computer that tracked stuff. I was then examined while standing, she asked me to cough to see if there was any leakage. Then I was asked to sit on the exam table, lying down with my feet in the supports. The doctor then did a pelvic exam. She put a speculum in my vagina and checked for vaginal prolapse. Then, she inserted a catheter into my urethra and did a q-tip test to check various internal angles...The exam ended with a rectal exam to check for anything there.

I have to go every other year. My Urethra is small and needs to be stretched sometimes. I am very susceptible to bladder infections. So I am required to get into position as if having a pelvic exam. Then the doc does three swabs to culture, then a catheter to get a clean sample. If any bacteria are in the urine I have to have my bladder flushed with either an antibiotic and then an antimicrobial solution to deter bacteria growth. Uro exams are painful alot of times but liveable. The flushing hurts me and the swabs mostly but the cath is just uncomfortable. All part of the process. I endure it as I don't want cancer or other serious problems.

I am curious how you felt during the actual exam itself?

Also, was it just nurse and doctor in the room?

Hmm a sexy girl getting a catheter is so hot.. love to watch that exam

Must say this thread is informative. I didn't know about the procedure before this.

Though I would never like to have it in reality.

Cath is painful, have seen in few videos and the special toilet seat with all the cables attached must be embarrassing

Thank you for posting a fasanating article I have learned a lot.

I hope it was not to uncomfortable, my wife may need simler, will keep you posted.
