“…The prevalence of frequency is relatively low, being the 13th in the descending order of symptoms in the ICS‐BPH study group report 26 . This is however, an extremely bothersome symptom and is a major reason for visiting an out‐patient service at a hospital in Japan 27 . We think it is an important problem which may be related to the coexistence of detrusor overactivity and for this reason we included it in the SPSS.…”

Aim : To evaluate the extent to which our newly developed questionnaire, the Saitama Prostate Symptom Score (SPSS), for prostatic symptom scoring reflects objective findings in benign prostatic hyperplasia (clinical BPH) and to compare it with the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) with regard to diagnostic sensitivity in clinical BPH. Methods : In this study, both the SPSS and the IPSS were self-administered by patients. Free uroflowmetry, a pressure-flow study and the measurement of prostatic volume were carried out.Results : There was no significant correlation between the results of the IPSS questionnaire and the urethral obstruction grade estimated by Schaefer or Abrams-Griffiths nomograms. The total score of the SPSS was correlated with these nomograms ( P = 0.0487 and P = 0.0413, respectively). There was no significant correlation between the results of the IPSS questionnaire and the total volume or transition zone volume of the prostate, whereas the total score of the SPSS correlated with the total volume of the gland and transition zone volume ( P = 0.0044 and P = 0.0051, respectively). Conclusion : This study revealed the SPSS to correlate with objective findings satisfactorily. However, there are still several aspects of the SPSS which need to be improved upon, and the questionnaire should be studied in larger numbers of patients suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms.Key words benign prostatic enlargement, benign prostatic hyperplasia, benign prostatic hyperplasia questionnaire, benign prostatic obstruction, lower urinary tract symptoms.

Comparisons of Factors Affecting Voiding Disorders Between Patients With Benign Prostate Hyperplasia and Volunteers

Abstract: There was no age-related enlargement of the prostate gland. The prostate gland was significantly larger in the patients than in the volunteers even in those in their fifties. Urinary frequency and sense of residual urine are important factors for men to seek and receive medical care.
