Uroflow Test

A uroflow test is a simple, non-invasive test that provides valuable information about well you are urinating, including the speed and strength of your urinary flow. During the test you will urinate into a special toilet that will analyze your stream and provide a real time graphical analysis. You should urinate in whatever position is easiest for you (sitting or standing). Immediately after you have finished voiding, we will perform a bedside ultrasound of your bladder by placing a probe on your lower abdomen. This will tell us how well you are emptying your bladder. The urologist will use this information to help guide your treatment.
