Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Women
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are the name given to a group of symptoms including dysuria and incontinence. The term was first coined in the 1990s to describe symptoms in men which had previously been known as prostatitis, to aid recognition that these symptoms were not always attributable to prostate problems and to reduce unnecessary prostate surgery. It was then widened to cover a "non-sex-specific, non-organspecific group of symptoms, which are sometimes age-related and progressive". [1]Nevertheless the term LUTS is more often applied to men, and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has produced guidelines on the topic which only apply to men. [2]
