Lower urinary tract symptoms in men


Listen Later

  • Male urinary dysfunction falls into three categories: voiding symptoms (affecting the bladder outlet), storage symptoms (often from an overactive bladder), and red flags requiring urgent referral

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia shares risk factors with cardiovascular disease and erectile dysfunction, suggesting a holistic approach to assessment and management

  • Minimally invasive prostate surgery offers advantages, including day surgery, faster recovery, less bleeding, and better preservation of sexual function

  • Healthcare professionals should refer patients when medical therapy fails to meet expectations or when red flags are present
  • Early referrals and effective treatments can help patients regain their quality of life
