Posted on by in Uncategorised

Urine Voiding Diary is a tool assisting to estimate and record how much liquid is in, how frequent you urinate, and another events. For example, when a urine leakage occurs. Urine diary is also known as Voiding Diary or Urine Frequency volume chart – FVC.

How to complete a 3-Day Urine Voiding Diary?

1. First, complete the urine voiding diary for at least 3 days. Meaning, 24 hours ×3.

2. On the first day of recording events, in the urine voiding diary: Fill in your name and date at the top of the voiding diary form.

How to add events into the diary:

Time of day/night: Have one urine diary sheet for every 24 hours. In the time column, fill out your sleeping time (i.e. 10:30pm) and wake-up time (i.e. 5:15am) directly. 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.

BPH Patient consulting with an online Urologist. Not an exciting chat

Posted on by in Uncategorised

More and more online doctor services are emerging. Let’s take a look at this correspondence of a BPH patient and an online Urologist (below). Firstly, as you can see, the answers are generic. Secondly, he received a grocery list of possible issues and treatments. Thirdly, it seems that the online doctor is confusing between Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and Urge incontinence??.

To sum it up, an online doctor can’t replace a visit at the Urologist’s or PCP’s clinic.
(TL;DR) Avoid online doctor services and don’t try to save money on your bladder.

Weak Flow? A sign of BPH?

online doctor bph

BPH Patient: I am a 58 years old male. Why does it take me a long time to pee recently? No burning sensation. Urine is not coming easily. Slow urine flow.

Doctor ###### replies:

Hello, my name is Dr #####, thank you for your question. I am a qualified MD with 13 years’ experience, and I am happy to work with you on this.

You should approach a doctor for this.
There are several types of male incontinence like Stress incontinence, Urge incontinence, Overflow incontinence and Functional incontinence.

Causes for incontinence are:
Small functional bladder capacity (FBC): In other words, the bladder is able to contain only a small volume of urine,
Detrusor Overactivity: the muscle of the bladder is hyperactive, causing inappropriate urination.
Sleep disorders: such as sleep apnea and sleep walking, etc. can lead to this.
Medications: certain medications can cause this.
UTI: urinary tract infection can cause this.
Urinary tract stones
Neurological disorders

Consult a Urologist for this.

A urologist needs to investigate to find the cause of your incontinence. You need to be examined thoroughly for this. In addition, besides tests like Urine Culture and sensitivity, you also need tests like Uroflow, Ultrasound, IVP, cystoscopy and voiding cystography. You should discuss these tests with your doctor

You need to take some active steps to combat such habits:
Pelvic exercises: Kegel exercises should be done.
Link: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000141.htm
Biofeedback exercises.
Behavior modifications: Like going to the bathroom at fixed times, drinking less fluids, holding on to the urine as far as possible till the time is appropriate.
These steps will help you, but you need to see a Urologist for this.
Hope I have been able to clarify the situation for you and helped in resolving your query. If you need more help, please let me know so l can continue to assist you.
Thank you and I wish you the best of health – stay safe!

Conclusion:

An online chat will never replace a real face-to-face visit with a Urologist or Gynecologist. It is better to arrive prepared. That is to say, share objective data with your doctor. Such as: bladder diary and uroflow charts. Your health care provider will very much appreciate these. And, like this, your complaints can be assessed scientifically as symptoms.
