ANORECTAL MANOMETRY Print E-mail

ANORECTAL MANOMETRY - This study measures the pressure of the anal sphincter muscles, the sensation in the rectum and the neural reflexes needed for normal voiding function. The anal and rectal area contains specialized muscles which are helpful in regulating proper passage of bowel movements and assist with normal voiding activity. If this muscle is weak or does not contract in a timely way, incontinence may occur.
