Fluid weight uroflowmetry in women.

J A Fantl, P J Smith, V Schneider

    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |April 15, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Fluid weight uroflowmetry effectively screens for urogynecologic conditions. Abnormal flow patterns, like multiple peaks or interruptions, are more common in patients with sensory urgency.

    Area of Science:

    • Urogynecology
    • Urology
    • Diagnostic Techniques

    Background:

    • Urogynecologic conditions affect many women.
    • Accurate screening methods are crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
    • Fluid weight uroflowmetry is a potential non-invasive screening tool.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate fluid weight uroflowmetry as a screening technique for urogynecologic conditions.
    • To establish normal uroflowmetric parameters and curve patterns in women.
    • To assess the utility of uroflowmetry in identifying specific urogynecologic issues.

    Main Methods:

    • Sixty women without known pathology underwent fluid weight uroflowmetry.
    • Parameters measured included total voided volume, flow time, peak flow rate, and time to peak flow rate.
    • Uroflowmetric tracings were classified into normal, multiple peak, and interrupted patterns.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in parameters were found between menstruating and postmenopausal women.
    • Age, parity, weight, height, and menstrual phase did not affect uroflowmetry data.
    • Seventeen percent of normal tracings showed abnormal patterns (multiple peak or interrupted).
    • Patients with sensory urgency exhibited a significantly higher incidence of abnormal flow patterns (p < 0.001).

    Conclusions:

    • Fluid weight uroflowmetry is a valuable screening tool for urogynecologic conditions.
    • Abnormal uroflowmetry patterns, particularly multiple peak and interrupted, are indicative of underlying issues like sensory urgency.
    • Further research can refine the application of uroflowmetry in clinical practice.
