Abstract
Twenty-eight pregnant women at 28 weeks gestation completed a urinary symptom questionnaire and then underwent uroflowmetry and subtracted provoked cystometry in order to correlate their urinary symptoms to their urodynamic assessment. Although a high incidence of urinary symptoms was found, there was poor correlation with the urodynamic findings.
