“…The reported risk factors for urinary symptoms and incontinence in both men and women include advanced age, family history, low physical activity, obesity, smoking, limited functional health, psychosocial disorders, diabetes, chronic cough, previous cardiovascular disease, bowel problems and urogenital surgery. Other risk factors for women include urogenital infections, vaginal delivery, increasing parity, pregnancy and birth‐related incontinence, urogynaecological surgery, menopause and use of hormone replacement therapy 2,13,18–31 . Many of these risk factors have been determined in studies of clinical rather than general populations and comparisons of risk factors between men and women are rare.…”

“…There have also been studies on symptoms of both symptomatic BPE and incontinence [ 5]. Many studies on incontinence have simply examined the prevalence of incontinence without defining its type [ 6]. Symptomatology has been examined using special questionnaires, mostly validated for use in assessing symptoms caused by BPE.…”

Most of the symptoms were mild, with post-micturition dribbling and nocturia the tract symptoms (LUTS) in Finnish men, using a population-based cross-sectional survey. most prevalent symptoms, and stress incontinence the least prevalent. Subjects and methods In 1994, a modified Danish prostatic symptom score system (DAN-PSS-1) questionConclusions The high incidence of LUTS may indicate a high prevalence of benign prostatic enlargement secnaire on the occurrence and severity of LUTS was mailed to all men (3143) born in 1924, 1934 or ondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia, but other causes are also involved. With the increase in the 1944 living in the city of Tampere or 11 rural and semi-rural municipalities in the same county.mean age of the general population, the number of individuals with LUTS is likely to increase and must Results After exclusions, 68% of the men were ultimately included in the study. LUTS were common and be considered when resources are planned for medical care. increased with age so that the prevalence of at least one symptom was 89% in the whole population (84% Keywords Epidemiology, ageing, benign prostatic hyperplasia and enlargement (BPE), symptomatic BPE among 50-year-old, 91% among 60-year-old and 94% examined using special questionnaires, mostly validated

A method to measure the urodynamic improvement when treating urethral obstruction is introduced and applied to patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy. The patients performed pressure-flow studies before and 3-6 months after TUR-p. The urethral resistance relation was estimated by curve fitting in the pressure flow plot. The new method quantifies the improvement in urethral resistance as the distance between the urethral resistance relation before and after treatment expressed in pressure units. The distance is measured at the flow rate equal to 75% of the maximum flow rate for the micturition with the lowest maximum flow rate and this distance is called delta-URA. The median improvement after TUR-p was 71 cm H2O (range 2-119). The improvement was strongly correlated to the resistance before treatment and the regression line indicates that the operation normalizes the resistance irrespective of its preoperative value. On the average a lowering of the urethral resistance relation with 8 cm H2O improved the maximum flow rate with 1 ml/s. The greatest advantage with the new method is that it has a high validity and is almost completely insensitive to changes in contractility.
