Abstract Urodynamic parameters and satisfaction were recorded after micturition in the seated position versus the standing position with a single-use device (P-Mate™) in healthy women. Healthy adult women were recruited. Eligibility criteria were: no past urological history and no urological symptoms. Volunteers were given four P-Mates™ to use during a week and a satisfaction questionnaire to fill. After this trial week, they were invited to perform four flowmetries, two in the seated position and two standing up, with the P-Mate™. Seated and standing flowmetry parameters were compared (by paired t-test). Twenty women completed the study. There was no difference in the maximum flow rate (Q max), voided volume and post-void residual (PVR) in the standing versus the seated position. In terms of Q max and PVR in healthy women, urinating standing up was as efficient as in the seated position. A majority of participants were satisfied with the device. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
