Benign Prostate Hypertrophy is a disease of elderly males. Modern pathy has described many causes and treatment of the disease. Unani pathy too has description of disease and the treatment in its resource books. The description is in different ways. At some places, it has been described in symptomatic form while at other places it has been considered as a disease. The disease has different name...

A 37-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with fever, gross hematuria, and irritative lower urinary tract symptoms. Investigations revealed the presence of a large left bladder diverticulum superior and lateral to the left ureteral orifice without bladder outlet obstruction. Bladder diverticula in adults almost always present in the setting of bladder outlet obstruction. ...

Mesenchymal tumors of the urinary bladder are rare and the majority of them are malignant. We report two cases of leiomyoma of the urinary bladder presenting with symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction. The first patient was managed with staged transurethral resections, and the second with holmium laser transurethral inoculation. The outcome was excellent in both cases. A review of the literatu...

PURPOSE We studied the usefulness of computer assisted morphometry for measuring detrusor muscle cell diameter and the connective tissue-to-smooth muscle ratio in patients with bladder outlet obstruction, acute urinary retention and a nonobstructed control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was done in patients with bladder outlet obstruction undergoing transurethral prostate re...

When bladder function is permanently disorganized by syphilis of the central nervous system, measures may have to be taken for the relief of symptoms, elimination of residual urine, and prevention or eradication of urinary sepsis. In the past, there were no means by which these aims could be satisfactorily achieved. In recent years, the successful management of cord bladder by transurethral res...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphologic features of female lower urinary tract symptoms and to examine the association between morphologic characteristics and urethral function. Materials and Methods: The records of 1,341 women with lower urinary tract symptoms and one single urodynamic diagnosis were reviewed. These include 560 subjects with genuine stress incontinence, ...

PURPOSE We evaluated the accuracy of detrusor wall thickness and intravesical prostatic protrusion, and the association of each test to diagnose bladder prostatic obstruction in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled in the study 100 consecutive patients with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Baseline parameters were Inter...

Congenital bladder diverticula in children are uncommon and rarely present with bladder outlet obstruction. We present a case highlighting an interesting association between a congenital bladder diverticulum and a benign inflammatory bladder wall lesion mimicking a rhabdomyosarcoma. Open surgery was required as different imaging modalities and cystoscopy were insufficient to exclude a malignant...

Twenty high risk children aged 5-12 years with various voiding problems were studied prospectively by urodynamics to evaluate the function of their urinary bladder and its continence mechanism. None of them had neuropathic bladder or any obstruction distal to bladder neck. Fourteen out of twenty (70%) had abnormal findings on urodynamics evaluation; 8 (40%) had non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder...
