Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational stury is to test the diagnostic accuracy of Pelvic Floor Ultrasound in evaluating women with stress urinary incontinence compared to the reference standard Urodynamic Studies. The main question it aims to answer is:
Is Pelvic floor ultrasound as accurate as urodynamic studies in diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence?

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Accuracy of pelvic floor ultrasound in assessment of stress urinary incontinence compared to urodynamic testing.
Time Frame: Within a week of UDS appointment
Key Measurements in PFU: Bladder neck position at resting and Valsalva states. Bladder Neck Mobility Posterior vesicourethral angle Urethral inclination angle Distance from the external urethral orifice to the bladder neck at resting state. Bladder Neck Funneling (BNF) Key Parameters Measured in Urodynamics: Presence or absence of SUI Presence or absence of Detrusor Overactivity leak point pressure Diagnostic accuracy will be assessed according to (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values) of PFU compared to UDS (as the gold standard)
Secondary Outcomes
- Cost(Within a week of UDS appointment)
- Patient satisfaction(Within a week of UDS appointment)
