Primary outcomePrimary: Voiding Efficiency — 87; 90 Percent voiding efficiency

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how urethral analgesia impacts voiding efficiency in healthy women. The investigator hypothesizes that anesthetizing the urethral with lidocaine gel will decrease voiding efficiency as measured by standard bladder testing (urodynamic testing).
