Ultrasound PVR (Post Void Residual)

Post Void Residual (PVR) and Bladder Ultrasound are for patients with urine retention issues (inability to empty the bladder completely). Post-void residual measurement is a method for determining how much pee remains in the bladder after urinating (or voiding). Post-void residual (PVR) urine volume is the amount of urine remaining in the bladder following urination.
