Leanne is a continence nurse adviser. She is a registered nurse with extensive training in continence care. She works primarily at Northeast Health Wangaratta but visits our rooms twice a month to assist with urodynamic investigations.
Urodynamic testing or urodynamics is a study that assesses how the bladder and urethra are performing their job of storing and releasing urine. Urodynamic tests can help explain symptoms such as:
- incontinence
- frequent urination
- sudden, strong urges to urinate but nothing comes out
- problems starting a urine stream
- painful urination
- problems emptying the bladder completely
- recurrent urinary tract infections
