| Popis: | Purpose: In a prospective manner we sought to determine the cause of lower urinary tract symptoms in young men and whether noninvasive testing and symptoms scores are useful in deciding which patients to evaluate with videourodynamics.Materials and Methods: We evaluated 85 men 18 to 45 years old with lower urinary tract symptoms. Patients with a history of known neurological disease or urethral stricture were excluded from the study. Patients were evaluated with the American Urological Association (AUA) symptom index, noninvasive uroflowmetry post-void residual and videourodynamics, and classified by specific urodynamic diagnoses. Noninvasive uroflowmetry (normal versus abnormal), post-void residual and AUA symptom index (total, voiding and storage scores) were evaluated as predictors of urodynamic abnormalities.Results: Mean patient age was 35.1 (range 18 to 45) and mean symptom duration was 53.8 months. Mean AUA scores were total 19.3, voiding 10.8 and storage 8.5. Videourodynamic diagnoses were primary... |
