Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Pelvic Floor Ultrasound	Pelvic Floor Ultrasound will be carried out by a sonographer expert in the technique and who will be blinded from the data of clinical examination as well as the UDS results. The 3D/4D abdominal ultrasound probe will be used to perform a transperineal scan to capture midsagittal pelvic floor views. The test will be conducted both at resting state and during the maximum Valsalva maneuver.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Urodynamic studies	Urodynamic studies (UDS) will be carried out according to the usual protocol and will include: cystometry, Valsalva leak point pressure, urethral pressure profile, and uroflowmetry.
