Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics, and obligatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic workup
- Abdominal ultrasonography (ultrasound examination of abdominal organs) – to exclude space-occupying processes (e.g., uterus myomatosus (uterus enlarged by fibroids (benign muscular growths)), ovarian tumor (ovarian tumor)).
- Cystoscopy (urinary bladder endoscopy) – for suspected stones and tumors.
- Urodynamic diagnostics (including measurement of bladder function during filling via a catheter and subsequent emptying (pressure-flow analysis) to differentiate the various forms of urinary incontinence (stress, urge incontinence also mixed forms, neurogenic bladder).
- Uroflowmetry (urine flow measurement) – measurement of urine flow during bladder emptying for objective determination of bladder emptying disorders, e.g. benign prostatic hyperplasia (benign prostate enlargement).
- I.v. pyelogram (synonyms: IVP; i.v. urogram; urogram; i.v. urography; excretory urography; excretory pyelogram; intravenous excretory urogram; radiographic imaging of the urinary organs or urinary tract system).
- Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen (abdominal CT) – for further diagnosis.
