“…It is also seen that although lower urinary tract symptoms increases with age but many diseases also contributed to increase in the frequency of urinary symptoms. 19 Frequency of LUTS was seen in 138 (60.53%) patients in our study. The reported prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms varies widely among different age groups and ethnic population.…”

Lower urinary tract symptoms are one of the commonest presentation in urology clinics. Lower Urinary tract symptoms include storage symptoms (frequency, urgency, urge incontinency and nocturia), voiding symptoms (hesitancy, dysuria, intermittency, poor stream of urine, terminal dribbling and residual urine sensation). Correct determination of prevalence of LUTS might help the health service provider to plan appropriate management strategies. So this study was designed to determine frequency of LUTS in men aged 40 or above.

“…This is similar to the findings by some researchers that men with diabetes or/and hypertension, were slightly at a higher risk of LUTS, compared with those free from the risks. (17) Finally, there was a statistically significant association between age and QoL. Men aged above 65years tended to have good QoL than those less than younger, (p<0.05).…”

“…(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) Furthermore, racial differences in the severity of LUTS among different age groups with no clear cut reason have been reported. (17) However, most of these studies were done in the developed world. These findings may be very difficult to apply to the developing countries.…”

Objective: To determine the age-specific prevalence, severity of LUTS and the commonest risk factor among Nigerian patients. Methods: A prospective, non-randomized study of 360 men was carried out at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, southwestern Nigeria between 1st of January, 2012 and 31st of December, 2014. The International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) questionnaire was used for the assessment of LUTS and quality of life [QoL]. Results: The mean age of the study population was 64±12.8 years and men in the age group 60-69 years had the highest prevalence of 27.8%. Eighty-two and half percent [82.5%] of the men had moderate to severe symptoms (IPSS score > 7). The prevalence of storage symptoms was significantly higher than that of voiding symptoms in all age groups. LUTS was not associated with smoking or body mass index, p>.05. Men with diabetes had 1.640[95%CI=0.895-3.005] and hypertension 1.071 [95%CI=0.773-1.484] higher those without and also poorer QoL. Known alcoholic patients were less likely to develop LUTS and poor QoL than non alcoholics, odd ratio [OR] was 0.774[95%CI=0.573-1.047]. The age of patient was also significantly associated with good QoL with patients aged >65 years having good QoL compared to those aged<65years (p<0.05). The OR for developing poor QoL for patients aged˂65years was 1.331[95%CI=1.063-3.543] while for aged>65 years, it was 0.686[95%CI=0.470-1.001]. Conclusion: LUTS was commonest in the 7th decade of life and alcohol consumption was the commonest but protective risk factor in southwestern Nigeria. Majority of the patients presented with moderate to severe symptoms.

Introduction: Lower urinary tract symptoms are one of the commonestpresentation in urology clinics. Lower Urinary tract symptoms include storage symptoms(frequency, urgency, urge incontinency and nocturia), voiding symptoms (hesitancy, dysuria,intermittency, poor stream of urine, terminal dribbling and residual urine sensation). Correctdetermination of prevalence of LUTS might help the health service provider to plan appropriatemanagement strategies. So this study was designed to determine frequency of LUTS in menaged 40 or above. Study Design: Descriptive, cross sectional study. Period: January 2015to December 2015. Setting: Urology Department of Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur.Materials & Methods: Total 228 patients of 40-80 years of age with lower urinary tract symptomswere included. Patients with foleys in situ, previously operated for urinary tract disease, urinarytract stones and urinary bladder mass were excluded. These patients were assessed todetermine frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms. Results: Mean age was 65.69 ± 7.91years. Mean duration of disease was 5.36 ± 2.19 months. Frequency of LUTS was seen in 138(60.53%) men with urgency in 22.81%, nocturia in 57.89%, frequency in 19.30%, poor streamin 15.79%, incomplete emptying of bladder in 33.33%, urge incontinence in 22.81%, terminaldribbling in 55.26% and hesitancy in 15.16% men. Conclusion: This study concluded thatthe frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms were urgency in 22.81%, nocturia in 57.89%,frequency in 19.30%, poor stream in 15.79%, incomplete emptying of bladder in 33.33%, urgeincontinence in 22.81%, terminal dribbling in 55.26% and hesitancy in 15.16% patients of age≥40 years with nocturia being the most common symptom and frequency of all symptomsincreases with age.
