Table 3.
Comparison of urodynamic parameters between the groups.
| Infused vol. (µl) | Void vol. (µl) | Pves max (mmHg) | Voiding efficiency (%) | Non-void contractions | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 106 ± 11 | 109 ± 6 | 17.0 ± 0.5 | 105 ± 8 | 0.1 ± 0.1 |
| Constipation | 79 ± 5* | 72 ± 7† | 15.6 ± 2.0 | 99 ± 7 | 0.8 ± 0.2* |
The constipation group showed a significant decrease in bladder capacity, voided volume, and a significant increase in the number of non-void contractions compared to the control group (N = 4 per each group). Mean ± SE, *p < 0.05 and †p < 0.005 vs. the control group, Pves max, maximum intravesical pressure at micturition.
