What Is Urinary Tract Infection

Health Encyclopedia: Cystometric Study

Alternative Names

CMG; cystometrogram

What the risks are

There is a slight risk of urinary tract infection and blood in the urine.

Special considerations

This test should not be done if you have a known urinary tract infection. Existing infection increases the possibility of false test results, and the test itself increases the possibility of spreading the infection.
