Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic test used to measure the flow of urine during urination. It's a noninvasive test and it is generally used to see if there is an atypical pattern of urine outflow.
The uroflowmetry is performed by having the child urinate into a special funnel that is connected to a measuring instrument. The information gathered includes the amount of urine, rate flow in seconds, and length of time of voiding. This information is then converted in a graph.
Children should arrive with a full bladder for an uroflow study.

The Division of Pediatric Urology and Urologic Surgery at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital specializes in the treatment and diagnosis of urological conditions.
When a person has difficulty urinating, this is often due to bladder outlet obstruction. With BOO, something is causing a blockage in the bladder and preventing the urine from flowing out of the body. The blockage can be partial or complete.
If an individual has trouble completely emptying the bladder of urine while urinating, this condition is known as voiding dysfunction.
A urine study refers to any test performed on the urine in order to check for general health or to diagnose a medical condition.
Urodynamics and vIdeo-urodynamics are tests to determine the source of urinary issues.
