Voiding Diary

A voiding diary is a great tool for both you and your urologist to understand how you are voiding and your symptoms. Your urologist may ask you to fill a voiding diary prior to your visit. Download the form here.


Downloadable Apps for Pelvic Floor Exercises & Bladder Retraining

Although in the ideal world everyone would have access to a pelvic floor physiotherapist, often this is not possible. Fortunately, there are studies demonstrating that many patients will experience measurable improvement by using apps designed to guide self-motivated users. Recommendations:
