Lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic obstruction--Triumph: health-economical analysis.

Given the ageing of western populations, the cost burden associated with the treatment of LUTS suggestive of BPO will increase substantially over the next few decades. Therefore, from the economic perspective, the primary objective of the Triumph project is the assessment of the cost-effectiveness of treatment options for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic obstru...

Is Increased Prostatic Urethral Angle Related to Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Males with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia/Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms?

PURPOSE The prostatic urethra is a bent tube, and the clinical significance of the prostatic urethral angle (PUA) was recently reported.

MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was done of ...

It is appropriate for the primary care physician to perform the work up to confirm that benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is causing the LUTS. If the physician determines that the patient has moderate symptoms (an International Prostate Symptom Score [IPSS] ≥ 8), moderate 'bother' (≥ 3 on the IPSS "bothersome i...
