Brief Answer:
Uroflowmetry suggests Obstructive Urine flow .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .

Your Uroflowmetry study revealed average urine flow (8.7 ml) which is lower than normal value for your age (18-20 ml).This suggests there is obstruction to flow of urine .This could be due to one of the following two reasons
1)Chronic Prostatitis that you have since 6 months
2) Bladder Neck Obstruction

The precise cause can be confirmed only on endoscopic examination of urethral passage and bladder .(Cystoscopy)

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
