What is Uroflowmetry?
Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic test that measures the volume of urine expelled, the speed of the urinary stream, and the pattern of urination. It is a valuable tool for assessing bladder and urethra function and can help diagnose conditions such as:
- Urinary incontinence
- Urinary retention
- Bladder outlet obstruction
- Prostate enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia - BPH)
- Neurological bladder issues
- Voiding dysfunction
Why Choose Uroflowmetry?
- Non-invasive: Uroflowmetry is a simple, pain-free procedure that doesn’t require any injections or surgery.
- Accurate Results: Provides essential data to assess the efficiency of urinary function and detect abnormalities in the flow of urine.
- Quick and Comfortable: The test takes only a few minutes, and there is minimal preparation required.
- Comprehensive Assessment: Helps to determine whether further diagnostic tests or treatments are needed based on the flow characteristics.
What to Expect During the Uroflowmetry Test
- Preparation: You may be asked to arrive with a full bladder, as the test is performed while urinating into a special container that measures urine flow.
- The Test: You will urinate into a uroflowmeter, which measures how much urine is passed, how quickly, and the pattern of the flow.
- Duration: The entire process typically takes around 10-15 minutes.
- Results: The test results will be immediately available, and a healthcare provider will interpret the data to assess your urinary health.
