Some medications may interfere with the results of Urodynamic Studies. Your doctor will let you know if any medications need to be paused and provide specific instructions on how to manage them before the test.

Preparation is generally straightforward and not uncomfortable. Drinking water for a full bladder may cause slight urgency, but this is temporary. Understanding the process in advance can help you feel more at ease.
