The voiding diary provides physicians with useful information about a patient's condition by having them record details of fluid intake, voiding, and urine leakage over multiple days. Patients are instructed to note the time, amount voided or leaked, activity, and fluid intake for each occurrence in the diary and return it to their doctor at their next appointment. An example entry is provided to demonstrate how to complete the diary correctly.
