Identifying the Clinical and Histological Risk Factors affecting Post-Biopsy Voiding Efficiency: An Observational Closed Cohort Study

Background: There is a variability in the reported rate of post-prostate biopsy voiding inefficiency. The burden and potential predictors this morbidity not well studied African patients. This study aimed to evaluate incidence as clinical histological factors affecting function patients undergoing trans-rectal prostate an population.
 Subjects, materials methods: An observational cohort was carried out 68 adult males, 40 years above, scheduled for suspected cancer. Those who could void spontaneously, had either neurological conditions or were on drugs that affect voiding, excluded from research. Data demographic characteristics collected. Uroflowmetry done obtain peak urine flow at baseline seven days after procedure. volume determined presence other risk recorded. bleeding-related complications also Statistical analysis using SPSS with p-value less than 0.05 significant.
 Results: Voiding inefficiency recorded 28 (41.2%) majority, 21 (75.0%), experiencing five nine-point decrease their seventh day values. Post-biopsy haematuria occurred 37 (54.4%) population. blood clots associated 10.9 times increased procedure (p = 0.006).
 Conclusion: About two developed Blood clot independently. occurrence morbidity.
