Understanding the relationship between clinical history and objective urodynamic findings can help optimize patient evaluation, reduce unnecessary diagnostic procedures, and facilitate more personalized treatment strategies in women with urinary incontinence. Abstract This research aims to compare anamnesis and urodynamic findings in diagnosing urinary incontinence and assess the diagnostic utility of patient histories. Urinary incontinence, defined as involuntary urine leakage in women, poses medical, hygienic, and social challenges. It can originate from various causes and manifests both as a symptom, reported by the patient, and as a sign, observable by others. Diagnosis typically involves laboratory procedures, including urodynamic testing. The study juxtaposes diagnoses derived from patient histories with those from urodynamic evaluations, utilizing patient files as the primary data source. Findings indicate a notable correlation between historical and urodynamic diagnoses. Nonetheless, discrepancies were observed in some cases, suggesting the need for tailored evaluations for each patient. The research underscores the importance of integrating both anamnesis and urodynamic data in the urinary incontinence diagnostic process. It highlights the necessity of a patient-specific approach to enhance treatment outcomes and suggests that this study could pave the way for further investigations in this field.
