At Hande Hospital, we’ve made this test a key part of our Senior Gentleman’s Health Package—a carefully designed preventive health check-up plan to keep ageing men ahead of potential health issues.

What is Uroflowmetry?

Uroflowmetry is an easy, painless test that measures the flow rate of urine when the patient urinates. The test shows how much urine is ejected, how quickly, and in how long a time. The data allow physicians to gauge how efficiently the bladder and urinary tract are working.

For men aged more than 50 years, it is particularly significant since prostate enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH) increases with age. If left unmanaged, this may cause urinary retention, pain, infections, or even damage to the kidneys.

Why Every Man Over 50 Needs To Take This Test

Even if you feel relatively healthy, small urinary pattern changes can be the first signs of larger problems. Signs such as:

• Weak or slow stream of urine
• Frequent need to urinate, particularly at night
• Inability to start or stop urinating
• Sensation that the bladder is not completely emptied

… could be ignored as a symptom of ageing, but might be indicative of underlying prostate or urinary problems.

Uroflowmetry ensures that such problems are detected early enough, sometimes even before they become symptomatic or serious. In conjunction with other important tests like Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), ultrasound abdomen, renal function tests, ECG, and others—hand in hand as the Senior Gentleman’s Package at Hande Hospital—you have the complete and clear picture of your health.

A Balanced Approach at Hande Hospital

At Hande Hospital, we’re serious about men’s health. Our Senior Gentleman’s Health Package has been carefully designed to concentrate on areas commonly impacted by ageing, including cardiovascular health, prostate health, metabolism, and kidney function.

Here’s what the package usually comprises:

• Blood sugar and lipid profile
• Liver and kidney function tests
• PSA (for prostate health)
• ECG and chest X-ray
• Ultrasound of abdomen & pelvis
• Uroflowmetry
• Specialist consultation and report review

Our staff of experienced physicians, such as experienced urologists and general physicians, ensures that you receive personalized care and easy-to-understand explanations each step of the way.

Early Detection is the Best Protection

Most conditions that occur in men over 50 are curable—if detected in time. Preventive screening aims to not only detect disease, but to optimize quality of life, independence, and self-confidence as you grow older.

Overview

Laser lithotripsy involves using a laser to fragment stones within the urinary tract. Our Specialist, Dr. Raajiv Dorai – MS (General Surgery) FICS, FAIS General Surgeon & Urologist performs this procedure during a ureteroscopy by inserting a flexible laser fiber through a scope into the urinary tract to target and break up the stones. The stone fragments are then removed using a small basket or other instruments, all without the need for incisions.

Procedure Details

Before the procedure, patients are advised to fast for eight hours and avoid certain medications. On the day of the procedure, general anaesthesia is administered to ensure comfort. The laser is inserted via a scope through the urethra to break up the stones. A temporary stent may be placed to assist in passing the stone fragments, which is removed later.

The entire process typically takes one to two hours, and patients can expect some discomfort post-procedure due to the stent and minor bleeding in the urine.

Risks and Benefits

Laser lithotripsy boasts several advantages over shock wave lithotripsy, including higher success rates and effectiveness regardless of the stone’s size, location, or hardness. It is particularly beneficial for patients who are pregnant or on blood thinners. Common side effects include pain, difficulty urinating, and blood in the urine. Rare complications can include ureteral injury, urinary tract infections, or blockage from stone fragments.

When do you need to come in for a consultation?

If patients experience fever, burning during urination that persists beyond a couple of days, or excessive blood in the urine lasting more than two to three days then they will need to book an appointment with Hande Hospital at 98410 11390.
