The BladderScan® Bladder Assessment Kit from Verathon® is a comprehensive program to bring Urology into the Primary Care office.

Bladder Dysfunction: A Seriously Under Diagnosed Problem

Bladder dysfunction is common among adults, but seriously under-diagnosed. It is estimated that 35 million Americans suffer from bladder disease.1 Due to embarrassment about urinary symptoms such as incontinence, many patients wait years before seeking treatment for poor bladder health. More than 50% of patients with incontinence do not volunteer information about their symptoms.2

Bladder Assessment for Primary Care

Today, primary care physicians have access to a growing number of pharmaceutical treatment options for bladder dysfunction. The bladder assessment kit provides physicians with the diagnostic tools they need to prescribe bladder medications appropriately and determine when referral to a urologist is necessary. Because conditions such as urinary retention are a contraindication for certain incontinence medications, it is important that a complete bladder assessment is performed before bladder medications are prescribed.

Benefits for you, your patients, and your practice:

As a healthcare provider, the BladderScan® bladder assessment kit gives you immediate and accurate information to diagnose bladder dysfunction. Because the tests can be conducted quickly, you can discuss potential treatment options with your patients at the time of their office visit. Your patients can avoid possible time-consuming referrals, pain from catheterization and the related risk of infection.
