Hypothesis / aims of study The International Continence Society (ICS) defined detrusor underactivity (DU) as ‘‘a contraction of reduced strength and/or duration, resulting in prolonged bladder emptying and/or failure to achieve complete bladder emptying within a normal time span”. Patients with DU are unable to contract the muscles sufficiently, which lead to incomplete bladder emptying and increasing postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) amount, may cause recurrent urinary tract infection, even hydronephrosis. Many patients need regular clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC). However, long-term CISC may increase the possibility of urinary tract infection. Our previous study has proven the feasibility of urinating in the erect position for women. To the best of our knowledge, research about urination at different positions in patients with DU is lacking. The purpose of this prospective study is to compare the results of uroflowmetry between the novel standing position and traditional sitting position for female patients with DU.
