Specially-trained staff conduct the urodynamics testing that is offered at the Misericordia Community Hospital.  Urodynamics is a test to see how well a patient's bladder is working by taking measurements and x-rays of the bladder. Urodynamics testing is done for people who have had bladder problems such as leaking, urgency or frequency.
