Yes. If you plan to have surgery to correct prolapse, bladder testing called urodynamics testing must be done first. In some patients, the prolapsed portion of the vagina may be pushing on and closing the urethra, preventing urine leakage. In this situation, surgery that corrects the prolapse and lifts pressure off the urethra may create a new problem – urinary incontinence. Urodynamic testing is the only way to determine whether a continence procedure is needed in addition to the surgery to correct prolapse. CLICK HERE for more information about urodynamic testsing.
