Intravesical prostatic protrusion and prostate volume in patients with acute urine retention

Background: To study the prevalence of significant Intravesical Prostatic Protrusion (IPP) in patients presenting with acute urinary retention (AUR) due to Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and correlation between intravesical protrusion volume.Methods: We assessed 68 men ages 45 85 who presented retention. Initial assessment included detailed clinical history, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Quality Life assessments a transabdominal ultrasonogram measure Volume (PV) (IPP). The degree IPP was determined by distance from tip circumference bladder at base prostate gland. Patients >10 mm were taken have those ≤10 be insignificant. Statistical analysis descriptive Pearson’s coefficient.Results: Of our resented AUR, 29 (42.9%) had IPP. Mean 9.81mm standard deviation 5.41 mm. All severe IPPS grade. statistically volume.Conclusions: as ultrasound can used direct appropriate more aggressive treatment strategies like surgery.
