These cases are fictional. They were constructed by Dr. Slaven Abdović from common presentations seen in an incontinence clinic. The screenshots use diaries created specifically for these examples; no real patient data is used. Any resemblance to a real person is entirely coincidental. The interpretation reflects his clinical experience alongside published guidelines. These examples are educational and not a substitute for assessment by your own doctor.
Two days and three nights of a bladder diary can answer a question that even a full conversation during a clinical visit can miss.
Each case follows the way it would be worked through in a clinic — starting with the story the family tells and the Diary data behind it. You’ll see the Summary a doctor receives, how Checkpoint helps make sense of the findings, how Coach turns them into practical steps to follow at home, and how Trends can show whether bladder habits are actually changing over time.
-
Case #1Bedwetting in a 5-year-old boy
Wet every night since potty training, with no daytime symptoms at all. The bladder turned out to be a normal size — the diary showed too much urine was being made overnight.
-
Case #2Urgency and daily leaks in a 9-year-old girl
Dry until seven, then urgency, daily leaks and pads hidden from classmates. The history said small bladder; the diary said otherwise, and the overactivity index explained why.
-
Case #3Post-void dribble in an 18-year-old
A drop on the trousers after every toilet visit, despite a normal bladder capacity. The diary pointed to emptying technique rather than bladder storage function.
Every case here started with a bladder diary. Start with the BeDRY Bladder Diary. After two days and three nights, Checkpoint helps you understand what you’ve recorded, Coach provides practical steps to follow at home, and Trends helps you see what changes over time.
