Abstract :

Uroflowmetry is one of the non invasive diagnostic method for diagnosis of various urinary tract diseases like Benign prostatic hyperplasia, Neurogenic bladder, Detrusor muscle overactivity, Urethral stricture. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 cases which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this hospital based prospective study. Urocap 3 uroflowmeter was used for uroflowmetry. After taking informed written consent of the patients, they have gone under uroflowmetry study and various graphs were obtained & result analysed. Study factors: The subjects were allocated into the age group of 20–70 years with various urinary complains. Outcome factors: Various uroflowmetry graphs like normal flow, intermittent flow, prolonged flow, box variety of flow and superflow were compared in patients with different urinary complains. Result: The patients with Prolonged flow were diagnosed as BPH, Box variety for Urethral stricture, Intermittent flow for Neurogenic bladder, Dysfunctional voiding curve for Detrusor overactivity. Conclusion: In our study, we found that Benign prostatic hyperplasia and Urethral stricture were diagnose by uroflowmetry and other causes of abnormal flow patterns like Neurogenic bladder, Detrusor muscle overactivity can relatively diagnose by uroflowmetry study but they required confirmation by advanced invasive pressure flow study (Urodynamic study).
