How to Use a Bladder Scanner
A bladder scanner returns a number with false confidence: a late, off-midline, or wrong-preset scan manufactures a residual that derails the voiding workup.
Post-Micturition Dribbling vs Overflow: The Differential
Post-micturition dribble is usually a benign urethral leak, but the same complaint can be overflow from a bladder that never emptied. Here is the differential.
Bladder Outlet Obstruction: The Pressure-Flow Diagnosis
Bladder outlet obstruction is the diagnosis a flow rate cannot make: low flow means a blocked outlet or a weak detrusor, and only pressure-flow separates them.
Stress Urinary Incontinence: Workup, Diary and Cough Test
Stress urinary incontinence is the leak you can diagnose from the bladder diary and a cough test, before urodynamics: a clinician's workup, causes to treatment.
Urinary Urgency: Phenotype Before You Prescribe
Urinary urgency masquerades as overactive bladder. Phenotype it on the bladder diary, excluding overflow and fluid imbalance, before reaching for a drug.
Uroflowmetry Interpretation: Reading Qmax and Flow Curves
Uroflowmetry interpretation for clinicians: read flow curve, Qmax, and voided volume against the bladder diary and PVR, because a low Qmax is ambiguous.
Detrusor Overactivity: Diary First, Then Urodynamics
Detrusor overactivity is a UDS finding, not OAB. The bladder diary triages most cases before urodynamics; subtype changes which prescription works.
Exporting a Bladder Diary to Epic, Cerner, and Other EMRs
How to send Bladder Diaries results into the patient chart with FHIR R4 Bundle or HL7 C-CDA R2.1, without any patient data leaving the device until you press download.
Urinary Urgency ICD-10: R39.15 vs N32.81 vs N39.41
ICD-10 codes for urinary urgency: R39.15 for the symptom, N32.81 for OAB syndrome, N39.41 with leakage. The LUTS code menu organized by IPC 4Is buckets.
ICIQ-OAB: Item-by-Item Interpretation for the 4Is Workup
The ICIQ-OAB scores OAB symptom severity 0 to 16. The four items map to four IPC 4Is workup paths. How to read it, score it, and pair it with the diary.
Post-Void Residual: The Voiding-Impairment Gate-Check
Post-void residual is the singular gate-check on the Voiding axis: cutoffs, measurement pitfalls, the kegel caution, and the practical urology algorithm.
Underactive Bladder & Detrusor Underactivity (N31.2, N31.8)
Underactive bladder and detrusor underactivity (N31.2, N31.8): the diary plus PVR shows which bucket the patient sits in before urodynamics. Workup guide.
