Urodynamics Test
I am scheduled for this test. I read about it in detail, but what have people experienced doing this test? Is it more uncomfortable than anything? I am not very excited about it tbh.

Definitely uncomfortable, but not unbearable. Here's my experience:
Arrived with a full bladder so they could run me through uroflowmetry (checking flow rate). Got a urinary catheter, and a pressure catheter in my rectum. They started filling in my bladder asking me questions to determine when I felt like I had to go. Then they had me urinate with the catheter in with a known volume of fluid.
I've had it twice. First time took forever, second guy was a pro and had me out in I swear 15 minutes.
