Core Tip	Clinical bladder evaluation is a cost-effective, non-invasive, and practical method for diagnosing and managing urinary dysfunction, particularly in low-resource settings. It avoids instrumentation-related risks, aligns with real-life patient conditions, and provides essential insights into bladder function, enabling tailored management strategies like self-catheterization, fluid intake adjustment, and use of bladder diaries. This approach is especially beneficial for patients with neurogenic bladder or those in economically disadvantaged regions, offering a feasible alternative to urodynamic studies.
