Mixed Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis

How is Mixed Urinary Incontinence diagnosed?

During the initial visit, Dr. Harris-Hicks will discuss your symptoms. How often do you have to go? How often does the loss of bladder control occur? What situations are causing urine leakage? In order to help diagnose the issue, the doctor may perform one, or a combination of, the following diagnostic tests.

• Urine Test. A urine test will help Dr. Harris-Hicks rule out whether a urinary tract infection is causing symptoms.
• Neurological exam. Dr. Harris-Hicks will be able to determine if symptoms may be caused by dysfunction in the nerves.
• Urine Volume Test. After urinating, Dr. Harris-Hicks will determine the amount of urine that is left in the bladder.
• Bladder Examination. Dr. Harris-Hicks will use a small camera to examine the bladder, and urethra to check for potential structural issues in these areas.
