Cystometry is not recommended in patients with acute UTI as it can lead to false-positive results, and it can be uncomfortable for the patient. Patients with urethral obstruction or cervical cord lesions can experience complications from cystometry, and therefore it should be avoided. Urinary incontinence and congenital urinary abnormalities are not contraindications for cystometry.
