Endoscopy
Anal manometry
Your doctor has referred you to the pelvic floor clinic for a test called anal manometry.
Below is some more information about this study.
What is it?
The Pelvic Floor Clinic is a collaborative effort involving various medical disciplines, including physical medicine, gynecology, urology, gastroenterology, abdominal surgery, and pediatrics.
At the Rumbeke campus, you can see specialized physical therapists for this examination.
Why this examination?
We will assess whether the anal sphincter muscles are functioning properly and whether further treatment is necessary.
The results of this assessment will be forwarded to the referring physician.
How does it go?
At your first appointment, please check in at the reception desk to register. You will receive some adhesive labels and instructions on where to go.
Bring the adhesive labels along with your prescription to the department.
You do not need to fast.
The procedure is always performed on an individual basis.
A fee of 150 euros will be charged for a personal catheter used during the procedure (non-refundable).
This study is being conducted by Charlotte Debleu, Coordinator of the Pelvic Floor Clinic.
