test measures the amount of pee left in your bladder after you urinate. High PVR levels mean you have urinary retention, which could be caused by an underlying condition. PVR tests are done with bladder catheterization, a bladder scan or a transvaginal ultrasound. When you go to the bathroom, your bladder should empty completely. But sometimes, pee stays in your bladder even after you feel like you’ve emptied it. The amount of pee that remains in your bladder after you urinate is called post-void residual (PVR). A small amount of pee left in your bladder is normal, but large amounts (called urinary retention) can be a sign of health conditions that need to be treated.
