How To Prepare
Tell your doctor if you:
- Are taking any medicines. Some medicines and herbal supplements can affect bladder function.
- Are or might be pregnant.
- Have symptoms of a urinary tract infection, such as pain or burning with urination, foul-smelling or cloudy urine, or an urge to urinate more often than usual.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will indicate. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form (What is a PDF document?) .
