Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction is made by pressure-flow studies, which is an invasive method. This study was conducted to evaluate non-invasive, effective, and low-cost diagnostic methods in male patients with bladder filling and emptying abnormalities.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aims The diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction is made by pressure-flow studies, which is an invasive method. This study was conducted to evaluate non-invasive, effective, and low-cost diagnostic methods in male patients with bladder filling and emptying abnormalities.

Methods The study included 219 male patients aged 50 and over, who were admitted between March 2020 and August 2020. Patients completed the Visual Prostate Symptom Score (VPSS) along with International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP), prostate volume, bladder volume, and post voiding residual urine (PVR) were measured by suprapubic ultrasound. Urethral resistance was calculated using the Bladder Outlet Obstruction Number (BOON), and patients over -20 were considered obstructed.

lower urinart tract syptoms

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in older men and one of the main reasons for this is the enlargement in prostate gland volume caused by hormonal changes.
