Uroflowmetry Test

Private Uroflowmetry Test in London | Northway Clinic

Accurate, non-invasive assessment of bladder function and urine flow rate at our London urology clinic.

If you are experiencing difficulty urinating, a weak stream, or a frequent urge to go, a uroflowmetry test (also known as a urinary flow rate test) is often the first step toward an accurate diagnosis. At Northway Clinic, we provide high-precision urological testing in a comfortable, private environment.

Important Booking Information

To ensure the highest standard of patient safety and diagnostic accuracy, a Urology Consultation is mandatory for all patients undergoing this test.

During this consultation, our specialist will review your medical history and symptoms to ensure the test is appropriate for you. The uroflowmetry results will then be reviewed as part of your comprehensive clinical assessment.

What is a Uroflowmetry Test?

Uroflowmetry is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to measure the volume of urine released from the body, the speed at which it is released, and how long the release takes.

By measuring urine flow rate, our specialists can determine whether there is an obstruction in the urinary tract or whether the bladder muscles are functioning correctly. This is a critical tool for diagnosing conditions such as:

• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (enlarged prostate)
• Bladder dysfunction
• Urinary incontinence
• Urethral strictures
• Frequent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Our Advanced Technology: Minze Hospiflow

At Northway Clinic, we utilise the Minze Hospiflow system, a state-of-the-art uroflowmeter designed to be used on a standard toilet.

Unlike traditional, clinical-looking equipment that can cause “bashful bladder” syndrome, the Minze Hospiflow offers a more natural experience:

• Realistic Results: By using a normal toilet, patients are more relaxed, leading to more representative and accurate data.
• Precision Sensors: The device accurately tracks maximum and average urine flow rates, voided volume, and flow time.
• Digital Integration: Results are instantly transmitted to a secure clinician portal for immediate review.

Expert Interpretation

A diagnostic test is only as good as the expert who reads it. At Northway Clinic, your uroflowmetry results are interpreted by an experienced Urology Consultant. Following the test, your consultant will review the flow curve and metrics to provide a clear diagnosis and discuss the next steps for your treatment or management plan.
