Urinary Flow Tests
Urinary Flow Test (Uroflowmetry) in Dubai
If you’ve noticed a weaker stream, straining to urinate, or a stop-start flow, a uroflowmetry test is often the first step toward a diagnosis. Dr. Shawket Alkhayal, a Consultant Urologist & Andrologist with 30+ years of experience and UK training, offers this quick, non-invasive diagnostic test at Novomed Men’s Health Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City.
What Is a Uroflow Diagnostic Test?
Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic test that measures urine flow during urination. Flow speed is measured electronically, and the flow rate is calculated as millilitres passed per second. Both the average and maximum flow rates are recorded, along with the total voiding duration giving a clear, objective picture of how well the bladder is emptying.
What to Expect During Your Test in Dubai
Patients are asked to arrive with a comfortably full bladder, avoiding urination for a couple of hours beforehand. You’ll then urinate into a funnel connected to an electronic uroflow-meter, which records your flow pattern on a flow chart in real time. The test is quick, private, and requires no needles or sedation, making it easy to fit into a working day in Dubai.
What the Results Can Tell Us
Flow rate is generally used to determine the severity of a blockage or obstruction in the urinary tract. A low flow rate may point to urethral obstruction, an enlarged prostate, or poor bladder muscle function each of which requires a different treatment approach. Dr. Alkhayal uses these results, alongside his clinical examination, to build an accurate diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan for patients across Dubai and the wider UAE.
If you are experiencing changes in your urinary stream, don’t wait for symptoms to worsen. Book a uroflowmetry assessment with Dr. Shawket Alkhayal at Novomed Men’s Health Clinic in Jumeirah 1, Dubai.
