How should I prepare?
Follow the testing centre’s instructions on food, enemas and medicines; protocols vary. Mention recent surgery, severe pain or possible pregnancy. Do not change medication independently.
What happens during testing?
A small catheter is inserted and you are asked to relax, squeeze and attempt to push. A balloon may assess sensation. Report pain and request explanations. Following these instructions is not a personal pass-or-fail test.
How can I use the report?
Request the full interpretation, not just numbers. Ask whether balloon expulsion was included and which management decision changes. Findings that do not match symptoms need discussion before treatment is selected.
