Uroflowmetry at Pitshanger Clinic Ealing
Accurate, non-invasive testing for bladder and urinary flow
Uroflowmetry is a quick, painless test used to measure how well your bladder and urethra are functioning.
At Pitshanger Clinic, this diagnostic assessment helps our consultant urologists evaluate urine flow and identify possible causes of weak stream, difficulty urinating, or incomplete bladder emptying.
The test is completely non-invasive, requires no special preparation, and provides immediate results to guide your treatment plan.
What is uroflowmetry?
Uroflowmetry measures the speed, pattern, and volume of your urine flow when you pass urine into a special device called a flow meter. It helps detect urinary obstruction, bladder dysfunction, or prostate enlargement — all of which can affect how efficiently the bladder empties.
At Pitshanger Clinic, we use modern, calibrated equipment in a professional, private setting to ensure accuracy and comfort during your test.
Uroflowmetry can help diagnose:
- Weak or interrupted urine flow
- Difficulty starting or maintaining urination
- Incomplete bladder emptying
- Symptoms of prostate enlargement (BPH)
- Urinary retention or obstruction
- Post-surgical voiding issues
