Women with lower urinary tract symptoms may have voiding abnormalities that are missed by cystometrography only. Voiding studies are useful for properly diagnosing and treating such cases. Women with abnormal voiding seem to have more severe voiding symptoms than those without such abnormalities. Occult neurological disease may also be identified in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and voiding abnormalities.

As the number of nighttime voiding episodes increases, the bother increases, independent of age or continent status. Based on the degree of bother, we propose that clinically significant nocturia in women be classified as two or more episodes per night.
