@shatter eyes:
For this test, you will urinate into a special funnel that is connected to a measuring instrument. The instrument calculates the amount of urine, rate of flow in seconds, and the length of time until all urine has been passed.
A urine flow test may be done on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in the hospital.
You may be told to drink about 4 glasses of water several hours before the test to be sure that your bladder is full. Do not empty your bladder before arriving for the procedure.
