Begin with recording all fluid intake (don’t forget your coffees) and urinary events, starting at 6am and ending the following day at 6am. This is a good convention to follow. Fill in the event next to the appropriate time slot.

Fluid (Intake): Under the “fluid intake” column, fill in the amount of fluids you drank (on each time). Usually in units of ml or in ounces – over a given time period.

Toilet (Urination): Under the “toilet voids” column. First, make sure that the urinary container is in the toilet. Remember to check that for each time you urinate. Measure the amount of urine you voided (in ml) for each time you urinated in the toilet. Repeat that for each time over at least 24-hour period.

Amount of Urine Drained with Catheter (optional). Write down the amount of urine (in ounces or millilitres) that you drained using a catheter. Mention if this was a residual urine volume (i.e. 125 ml residual [R], or 175 ml catheter [C] void). If you do not use a catheter, ignore it and leave this column blank.

Leaks: In the column marked “leaks”. Mark each time you had involuntary urine loss (even a small amount) before you made it to the toilet.

Some patients are asked to mention Pad Changes: Under “description”, you can write down on each time you changed your pad. Mention whether the pad was dry, for instance, write it as “D”. In case that the pad was wet with urine, fill in shortly whether it was a “S”, “M” or a “L” amount.
