Urodynamic Assessment in Adults Suffering of Persistent Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Only, a Retrospective Study,MOHAMAD EL-ATREBI
Abstract
Aim of the Work: Evaluation of the urodynamic findings in adults suffering from persistent lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and otherwise normal clinical findings.
Patients and Methods: 30 men patients with storage and voiding lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and otherwise normal clinical findings were assessed in our study by urof-lowmetry, filling cystometry and pressure-flow studies. The exclusion criteria were urinary tract infections, diabetes mellitus, bladder outflow obstruction, neuropathies, urinary stones or neoplasm, or any other condition or any drug treat-ment possibly affecting bladder functions.
Results: Of the 30 adult men referred to our urodynamic unit suffered from LUTS and otherwise normal clinical find-ings, detrusor underactivity on pressure-flow studies could be confirmed.
Conclusions: Urodynamic studies are worthy in these group of patients to identify detrusor underactivity and hence can be treated and solved their problems.
