Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying in women: Lack of correlation to an elevated post-void residual.

Introduction/background: Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying (SIBE) has been shown to be correlated with an elevated post-void residual (PVR) in men, however, the significance of this symptom and whether it correlates with an elevated PVR in women is less clear. In this study, we assessed if SIBE in women is correlated with an elevated PVR and determined the relationship of SIBE to other lower urinary tract symptoms.

Methods/materials: Women ages ≥18 with lower urinary tract symptoms were eligible.
