The influence of altitude hypoxia on uroflowmetry parameters in women.

In conclusion, in young adult women, micturition physiological parameters were affected during adaptation to hypoxia; the correlation with SpO2 strongly suggests a role of hypoxia in these changes. These data could help to support the design of new strategies for both prevention and medical treatment. An example of the latter might be the hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which in some studies has proved able to reduce the symptoms in patients with hypoxic bladder.
