| Popis: | To investigate the association between the prevalence of varicocele and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)/lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in elder man in China.A total of 831 BPH/LUTS outpatients who were 40 years or older were recruited. The patients' age, total prostatic volume (TPV), International Prostate Symptom Score, total prostate-specific antigen, nocturia, and body mass index were recorded. The presence and grade of varicocele were diagnosed by physical examination in combination with scrotal color Doppler.The total prevalence of varicocele was 53.0%. The prevalence values of varicoceles in patients were 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79 years old, and 80 or above were 43.0%, 42.4%, 54.0%, 59.5%, and 64.0%, respectively. When comparing with varicocele grade, TPV (P = .002) was found to be significantly different. Nocturia frequencies increased significantly in patients with varicocele (P .01). There were no difference in terms of International Prostate Symptom Score, total prostate-specific antigen, and body mass index between patients with no varicocele and with grades 1, 2, and 3 varicoceles (P .05).For elderly patients, the prevalence of varicocele shows an increasing trend with aging. Higher-grade varicoceles are associated with higher TPV and nocturia levels. Varicocele, which may be a factor that affects BPH/LUTS, cannot be overlooked. |
