Uroflowmetry

Uroflowmetry is a simple, painless, and highly informative non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the flow rate, volume, and pattern of urination to assess how well the lower urinary tract is functioning. It plays a vital role in identifying issues related to the bladder, urethra, and prostate gland. At Radiant Diagnostics, we use uroflowmetry as a frontline tool to evaluate patients presenting with symptoms such as frequent urination, slow or weak urine stream, difficulty starting urination, or incomplete bladder emptying. The test is especially useful for detecting urinary obstruction, bladder dysfunction, or age-related prostate conditions. By analyzing the speed and consistency of urine flow in real time, this test helps our specialists detect potential abnormalities early—before they develop into more serious urological disorders. Whether you're facing chronic urinary problems or simply undergoing a preventive check-up, uroflowmetry offers quick, accurate, and valuable insights into your urinary health, with zero discomfort and no need for prior preparation.

At Radiant Diagnostics, this test is used to diagnose and manage conditions such as:

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Urinary retention or obstruction

Neurogenic bladder dysfunction

Incontinence issues

Uroflowmetry can be particularly helpful in monitoring post-treatment outcomes in patients who’ve undergone prostate surgery, or catheterization, and those with chronic urinary problems. With expert evaluation and timely diagnosis, Radiant Diagnostics helps patients restore their urinary health and quality of life.

Frequently asked questions

Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to measure the flow rate, volume, and pattern of urine during urination. It helps evaluate bladder and urethral function and is essential for diagnosing urinary disorders such as obstruction, weak bladder muscles, and other urological issues.

This test is commonly used to diagnose Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), urinary obstruction, neurogenic bladder dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and other lower urinary tract symptoms. It is also used for post-treatment monitoring in patients who’ve had prostate surgery or catheterization.

During the test, the patient urinates into a special funnel or container attached to a computerized uroflowmeter. The machine measures and records the flow rate (ml/sec), total volume, and time taken. The process is private, comfortable, and requires no prior preparation.

No, the test is completely painless and non-invasive. It simply requires the patient to urinate naturally into the testing device. The entire procedure is quick and done in a hygienic and private environment at Radiant Diagnostics.

After the test, the uroflowmetry report is reviewed by our specialist. Based on the results, further investigations or treatments may be recommended, such as medication, lifestyle changes, or urological procedures to manage the underlying condition.
