urine flow rate

Urine flow rate measures how quickly urine leaves the bladder, usually expressed in milliliters per second or minute. It's an important indicator of urinary health, showing how freely urine can pass through the urinary tract. A normal flow rate varies among individuals but generally suggests unobstructed pathways. A low flow rate might indicate issues like blockages or muscle problems, while a very high rate can sometimes suggest other concerns. Healthcare providers use this measurement, often through a test called uroflowmetry, to help diagnose urinary problems and guide treatment.
