In a large series of women presenting to a urogynaecology clinic, urodynamic investigations were associated with a high incidence of transient irritative symptoms but a low incidence of bacteriuria (8%). Infection was asymptomatic in most patients, but its natural history was unpredictable. Transient, persistent and late cases of bacteriuria all occurred. In this population, urodynamic studies are associated with a low level of morbidity.
