ABSTRACT

Background: Dysfunctional voiding is characterized by an intermittent and/or fluctuating urinary flow due to involuntary intermittent contractions of the periurethral striated or levator muscles during voiding in neurologically normal women. The aim of this study is to determine if an evaluation of the pelvic floor muscles in women with dysfunctional voiding symptoms may help to make clinical decisions as conducting a urodynamic study. Method: Cross-sectional and analytical design to compare the urodynamic parameters obtained during the pressure-flow study in women with and without overactive pelvic floor muscles and the urodynamic parameters obtained in women with and without dysfunctional voiding. Results: We studied 90 women. The statistical technique t-test for independent samples was used. The behavior of the pelvic floor muscles showed statistically significant differences among the groups. Conclusion: Surface pelvic floor electromyography is a noninvasive test to initially assess women with dysfunctional voiding; however, it does not replace the multichannel urodynamic study.
