How fast is your urine flow? Never thought about it? Wondering why you would need to know that information? Basically, a speedy trip to the toilet means that your prostate and bladder are in good shape, and a slow flow can be an early warning of prostate and bladder issues.

One Aussie doctor has created the Widdleometer, a game-changing device to measure the speed of your standing-up bathroom trips. The Widdleometer means you can keep an eye on your urine flow whenever you need, in the comfort of your own toilet, your back garden, or sock drawer, depending on how big your night was.

Doc Sheen created the Widdleometer after seeing so many patients with untreated prostate and bladder issues that could have been prevented with early detection. Fifty percent of men aged 50 have an enlarged prostate, and that number skyrockets to 80 percent by age 80. The consequences? Reduced urine flow, potential blockages, UTIs, and an almost constant need to go without the ability to empty your bladder completely.

To check your flow, do your business into the Widdleometer, a cup-like device with a hole in the bottom. Aim, shoot, and keep your urine flow strong enough to keep the liquid above the line. If you can’t push hard enough to do that, it might be time to see a GP.

September is Prostate Awareness Month, which means there’s no better time to start thinking about what shape your prostate and bladder are in. The Widdleometer is available at https://widdleometer.com/.
