Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to measure the rate and volume of urine flow. It provides important insights into the functionality of the lower urinary tract, helping diagnose urinary incontinence, frequent urination, and obstructions in urine flow.
Why is Uroflowmetry Recommended
Healthcare professionals recommend uroflowmetry to assess how efficiently the bladder and sphincter muscles function. Common conditions diagnosed include:
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
- Urinary tract obstructions
- Neurogenic bladder dysfunction
- Urinary incontinence
- Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Overactive bladder (OAB)
