Uroflowmetry (Urine Flow Test)
Measuring the strength of your urine flow with numbers and graphs
What kind of test is it?
Uroflowmetry is a simple test in which you urinate as usual in a special toilet.
There are no needles, no procedures, and no discomfort.
What does it measure?
This test evaluates how your urine flows by measuring:
-
Urine flow strength (maximum flow rate)
-
Time required to urinate
-
Flow pattern (smooth, interrupted, or weak)
The results are displayed as a graph, allowing us to objectively assess symptoms such as
“I feel my urine flow is weak.”
How is it useful?
-
To assess the severity of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
-
To compare your condition before and after treatment
👉 There is absolutely no pain, and the test only takes a few minutes.
