Uroflowmetry is a quick, non-invasive test that measures how well you urinate. It helps doctors find out if there is a problem with your bladder or urethra.
Uroflowmetry is a test that measures the rate and volume of your urine flow. It produces a graph called a “uroflow curve,” which shows how fast urine flows from your bladder.
Your doctor may recommend uroflowmetry if you have symptoms such as:
You may be asked to drink some water before the test so that your bladder is comfortably full.
You will urinate into a special toilet or funnel connected to a measuring device.
The machine records the amount of urine you pass and how fast you pass it.
The test usually takes a few minutes, and results are sent to your doctor for evaluation.
The main result is the uroflow curve. Your doctor looks at several numbers, including:
A slow or irregular flow may suggest a problem such as an enlarged prostate, bladder outlet obstruction, or a weak bladder muscle. Uroflowmetry is just one part of the evaluation, and your doctor may recommend additional tests if needed.
