    This document provides an algorithm for diagnosing dysuria and urinary incontinence in women. The algorithm first evaluates symptoms to distinguish between dysuria and incontinence. It then outlines steps to diagnose a urinary tract infection if dysuria is present, which includes a urinalysis and urine culture. For incontinence, the algorithm evaluates risk factors and type of incontinence before assessing postvoid residual volume to determine the next steps.
