Uroflowmetry is a diagnostic procedure used to measure the rate and flow of your pee over time to check for problems. The test is straightforward and non-invasive, which means your skin does not need to be pierced.
You will be taken to a private testing room and asked to urinate into a special funnel connected to an electronic uroflowmeter. You should not experience any pain or discomfort from the procedure.
Cystoscopy is a test that lets the healthcare provider view the urinary tract. This area includes the bladder, the urethra, and the openings to the ureters. Cystoscopy can help find problems with the urinary tract. This may include early signs of cancer, infection, narrowing, blockage, or bleeding.

Simple exercises such as walking or doing jumping jacks can help a person urinate. Before heading to the bathroom, a person may wish to do a few laps of the house or office to stimulate urination. Rubbing the lower stomach or inner thighs or pulling on pubic hair while on the toilet can help induce the need to pee.
For this test, you will urinate into a special funnel that is connected to a measuring device. The device calculates the amount of urine, rate of flow in seconds, and the length of time until all urine has been passed.

Phototherapy uses lightwaves to treat certain skin conditions. The skin is exposed to an ultraviolet (UV) light for a set amount of time. Phototherapy uses a man-made source of UV light. UV light also comes from the sun.
A treatment for jaundice where the exposure of skin to a light source converts unconjugated bilirubin molecules into water soluble isomers that can be excreted by the usual pathways.
- Research suggests that LED light therapy can help reduce and improve some skin conditions and issues.
- Phototherapy with narrow band ultraviolet B (UVB) has been shown to stop or slow the progression of active vitiligo.
- There are potential risks with phototherapy treatment that could include: Skin redness that fades within 24 hours. Burns or blisters, similar to a sunburn. Dry skin.
- Treatment will start for 30 seconds and build up to a maximum of around 15 minutes.
- A commonly used rule of thumb in the NICU is to start phototherapy when the total serum bilirubin level is greater than 5 times the birth weight.
