The best, and often only, way to tell if a C&P exam went well for the veteran is to read the exam report. However, VA does not issue the veteran a copy of the report unless they specifically request it. To do this, veterans can send a letter requesting a copy of their exam report to their Regional Office.

What is a uroflow meter?

Uroflow, or Uroflowmetry is a test to measure the flow (rate) of micturition. During the test, the uroflow device, a Uroflowmeter, tracks urine flow in mL/sec. It reports Urination volume, meaning, how much urine flows out.

Why do I need a uroflow test?

Your Urologist or physical therapist suggest performing a uroflow test, in case they suspect that you are suffering while urinating, or have a weak flow rate (stream). Uroflow, or Uroflowmetry is a test to measure the flow (rate) of micturition.

How accurate is Uroflowmetry in the diagnosis of bladder voiding?

The flow curve is a product of detrusor contraction strength and bladder outlet resistance. Diagnostic accuracy for BOO detection is substantially influenced by Qmax threshold values [ 48 ]. In patients with abnormal voiding, uroflowmetry is unable to discriminate between the underlying mechanisms of poor urinary flow [ 49, 50 ].
