Uroflowmetry Test
Uroflowmetry is a simple, non-invasive urine flow test that measures the rate, volume, and pattern of urine flow. It helps assess how well the bladder and urethra are functioning.
What It Measures:
- Flow rate (mL/sec)
- Voided volume (total urine passed)
- Flow time and duration
- Flow pattern (continuous, intermittent, weak, etc.)
How Uroflowmetry Works
Simple non-invasive urinary flow testing
Hydration
Patient drinks water and waits until bladder feels comfortably full
Special Device
Patient urinates into a special funnel or toilet connected to measuring device
Automatic Recording
Device records flow rate, volume, duration, and time to maximum flow
Data Analysis
Healthcare provider interprets results and provides diagnosis
What Gets Measured
Comprehensive urinary flow parameters
Flow Rate
Speed of urine flow measured in mL/second
Voided Volume
Total amount of urine passed during test
Flow Time
Duration of urine flow from start to finish
Flow Pattern
Continuous, intermittent, weak, or other patterns
Purpose of Uroflowmetry
Used to evaluate various urinary conditions

- Urinary stasis
- Recurrent UTIs
- Bladder dysfunction
Neurogenic Bladder
Assesses nerve-related bladder dysfunction

How to Prepare for Uroflowmetry
Important guidelines for accurate results
Important Reminder
Do NOT put toilet tissue in the device. The test must be done naturally without straining or forcing the urine flow. Relax and urinate as normally as possible for accurate results.
