Diagnosis typically involves a combination of patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. A gynecologist may ask about symptoms, medical history, and perform a pelvic exam to assess muscle strength and support. Additional tests may include:
Urine analysis: To rule out infections or other abnormalities. Bladder diary: Tracking fluid intake, urination frequency, and leakage episodes. Urodynamic testing: Measuring bladder pressure and function. Cystoscopy: Examining the bladder and urethra with a camera.
