About Urodynamic Study & Uroflowmetry
Uroflowmetry measures the speed and volume of urine flow, while urodynamic studies measure bladder pressure and function during filling and emptying. Together they explain why urinary symptoms occur and guide the right treatment.
These tests are useful for prostate problems, urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and neurogenic bladder.
