Purpose of the Procedure
- Evaluate bladder efficiency in emptying urine.
- Diagnose causes of recurrent urinary tract infections.
- Detect bladder outlet obstruction or muscle atony.
This non-invasive ultrasound scan measures urine remaining in the bladder after voiding, helping detect obstructions or muscle issues early to prevent infections and ensure optimal urinary health.
Scientific name: Post-Void Residual (PVR) Bladder Scan
A non-invasive ultrasound procedure measuring urine volume remaining in the bladder immediately after voiding. It effectively screens for bladder outlet obstruction or muscle atony to ensure urinary tract health.
