Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately measure urination information such as a urine flow rate by directly measuring urine flow in a toilet bowl unit while ensuring hygiene. SOLUTION: An urination information measuring device has: a western-style toilet bowl unit into which a user discharges urine; a microwave reflection information measuring means that is set on the western-style toilet bowl unit, emits a microwave to the urine flow discharged by the subject, and measures reflected wave information of the reflected wave reflected therefrom; and a urine flow rate calculation means for determining the moving rate and the cross-sectional area of urine drops constituting the urine flow discharged from the subject from the reflected wave information, and calculating the urine flow rate, which is the urine flow amount per unit time.
