How to Increase Urine Flow in Men Women

• Slow urination can occur in both men and women
  and is defined by a sub-par urine flow rate.
  Urine flow rate is a measure of the volume of
  urine that is expelled from the body in a
  specific duration of time. This rate of urine
  flow can vary with the same person experiencing a
  lowered urine flow at certain times and a higher
  one at other times. This is because the rate of
  urine flow depends upon the degree of fullness of
  the bladder, the circumference of the urethra and
  the pressure applied while urinating.

Uroflowmetry

• Uroflowmetry or uroflow is a procedure used to
  measure the volume of urine released, the speed
  at which the urine is released and the time it
  takes for the release to occur.
• During this test, you will have to urinate into a
  special toilet that has been fitted with a
  measuring device. The results from the test will
  enable your doctor to determine if your urine
  flow rate is normal or low. Moreover, this test
  needs to be performed when a person has a full
  bladder, so urinating for at least 2 hours prior
  to the test should be avoided.

Urine Residual Test

• A urine residual test measures the amount of
  residual urine in your bladder after urination.
  This is known as the post-void residue and is
  usually measured using an ultrasound scanner
  which produces a detailed image of your abdomen
  including the bladder. These tests are usually
  performed by a radiologist in a clinic or a
  hospital. A catheter inserted into the urethra
  can also be used to measure the post-void
  residue. Post-void residues in excess of 100mL
  indicate that the bladder is not emptying
  properly due to some reason.

Causes

• The cause of a weak urine stream resulting in a
  slow urine flow rate could be nothing more
  serious than a case of dehydration. An additional
  symptom of dehydration is urine that is dark
  yellow in color. This can be remedied easily by
  drinking several glasses of water. Other causes
  however, may be more serious and require
  treatment. They include urinary tract infections,
  structural defects in the urinary tract, bladder
  and kidney stones and an enlarged prostate in the
  case of men.

How to Increase Urine Flow

• Urine flow rate can be increased in many cases by
  a few simple home remedies. Drinking plenty of
  fluids and keeping well hydrated is essential.
  Another step would be to drink at least 8 glasses
  of barley water or unsweetened lemon juice every
  day in addition to your regular fluid intake.
  Drinking cranberry juice will also help to clean
  your urinary tract and promote healthy urine
  flow. Always make sure your genital area is dry
  and clean. This will eliminate the risk of any
  external infection.
