Urodynamic testing can be associated with mild discomfort, particularly at the time of insertion, repositioning, and removal of the bladder catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder via the urethra). Few studies have investigated ways to improve patient comfort during this procedure. In this study, the investigators want to see if applying external lidocaine (a numbing gel) prior to the procedure can help to minimize patient discomfort.
