Cystometrogram

• This procedure evaluates bladder function and is used in patients who have uncontrollable loss of urine. (Urinary Incontinence)
• No sedation or anesthesia is needed.
• All patients can have this procedure done in the office.
• A small catheter is inserted into the bladder and another in the rectum.
• The bladder is then slowly filled with water and the CMG records the pressures.
• Patients are asked to cough or bear down to observe for leaking.
• Once the patient feels their bladder is full, the catheter is slowly withdrawn to measure the pressure in the urethra.
• Full recovery can be expected immediately following the procedure.
• Please call the office if you develop fever over 100.4 F after the CMG.
