Uroflowmetry Test

Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic test measuring the flow rate of urine during voiding. It assesses bladder function by recording how quickly and efficiently urine is expelled. This test helps diagnose urinary issues like obstruction or weak bladder muscles, guiding appropriate treatment and management strategies.

• Flow Rate Measurement: Records the speed of urine flow, usually in milliliters per second, to evaluate bladder function.
• Voiding Time: Measures the total duration of urination to assess how long it takes to empty the bladder.
• Volume Measurement: Tracks the total volume of urine voided, which helps in diagnosing issues related to incomplete bladder emptying.
• Flow Pattern: Analyzes the shape and pattern of the urine stream to identify abnormalities in bladder function or urethral obstruction.
• Post-Void Residual Measurement: Often combined with the test to measure the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination, indicating possible retention issues.
