waves to show the uterus, bladder, and cervix
voiding cystourethrography, a
test
in which X-rays of the bladder are taken while the person urinates. This test
allows the healthcare provider to see the shape of the bladder. It can also
reveal any other reasons why the flow of urine is blocked.
urinalysis and urine culture, in which the urine is analyzed and
examined
for bacteria
blood tests, including a complete blood count, or CBC, to check for infection
other X-rays, scans, or tests to rule out other causes of the symptoms
