·      Discontinue urinary disorder medications at least 48 hours before testing

·      No consumption of bloating and heavy foods the night before or the same day breakfast

·      Complete defecation, especially in those with digestive problems such as fecal incontinence or constipation (it is advisable to use Bisacodyl suppository the night before)
