Urinary Flow Rate

Urinary flow rate is a measurement of how quickly urine flows from the bladder out through the urethra during urination. It is usually expressed in milliliters per second (ml/sec). This test helps assess the health of the urinary system, particularly how well the bladder and urethra are functioning. A normal flow rate indicates unobstructed urine passage, while a low flow might suggest blockage or other issues. Measuring the flow rate provides valuable information for diagnosing urinary problems and guiding appropriate treatment.
