The role of urethral pressure variations during filling cystometry is seldom assessed as a potential cause of voiding dysfunction and/or storage disorders. In this article, we review current research in the field of urethral pressure variations and discuss the way of determining urethral pressure variations, its value for the clinical practice and hypothesize the origin of urethral pressure variations. The observation and recognition of urethral pressure variations (urethral instability) could be valuable in the diagnosis and evaluation of therapy in functional lower urinary tract disorders.
