UROFLOWMETRY

 

Uroflowmetry (also called “uroflo”) is available at the Delhi and Noida facilities. It measures the volume of urine released from the body, the speed with which it is released, and how long the release takes. Results are compared with your symptoms and physical exam. A result that may need treatment in one person may not need treatment in another person. Several circular muscles around the urethra normally regulate urine flow. If any of these muscles becomes weak or stops working, there may be an increase in urine flow or urinary incontinence. If there is a bladder outlet obstruction or if the bladder muscle is weak, there may be a decrease in urine flow. The amount of urine that remains in the bladder after urinating can be measured with ultrasound. There are no risks with this test.
