Urinary incontinence is a silent epidemic severely affecting the quality of life of women. Clinical assessment alone has been shown to be an ineffective way of assessing women with lower urinary tract dysfunction; hence, there is a need for urodynamic studies. Nevertheless, urodynamics cannot explain all the symptoms and is not always available. Ultrasound scan is becoming more useful in the field of urogynaecology. It is safe, non-invasive and acceptable technique for the patients. In this review, we explore the place of modern ultrasound in managing women attending urogynaecology clinic.
尿失禁是一种严重影响女性生活质量的无声流行病。临床评估已被证明是评估下尿路功能障碍女性的一种无效方法；因此，需要进行尿动力学研究。然而，尿动力学并不能解释所有的症状，而且并不总是可行的。超声扫描在泌尿妇科领域变得越来越有用。它是一种安全、非侵入性且为患者所接受的技术。在这篇综述中，我们探讨了现代超声在管理泌尿妇科门诊就诊女性中的作用。
