When you consult a professional, the physician will probably ask you to describe your symptoms. Together with the review of your medical history, your doctor may make a physical examination, including a pelvic and rectal examination.

Other studies that may help your doctor make an appropriate diagnosis are:

  • Abdominal or pelvic ultrasound
  • Cystoscopy: bladder diagnostic test
  • Urodynamic studies: tests to measure urine pressure and flow
