THE BLADDER DIARY

The BLADDER DIARY is an important assessment tool for women experiencing urinary problems. After taking a detail history and examination, I will advice ladies who experience these symptoms:

•  frequency (pass urine more than 7 times in a day) 
•  urgency ( a sudden desire to pass urine) of urgency incontinence
•  nocturia (waking up to pass urine more than 1 time after going to bed)

 to do a bladder diary for 3 consecutive days 24hours a day. All fluid taken in and every time she passes urine along with the quantity must be recorded.

This is the bladder diary which I give to my patients:

From the bladder diary, we can clearly see how much or frequently the person is taking in or passing out fluid. From this, we can advise them on fluid management and bladder training. Below is an example of bladder diaries of a lady who had seen me for a complaint of frequency and urgency. I requested her to do an initial bladder diary. I advised her on fluid management and bladder training. After 2 weeks, she repeated the bladder diary and it showed a significant improvement. Therefore, these bladder diaries can be used to treat women with urinary symptoms.
