| Popis: | A cohort of 266 men with untreated benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) identified in a community-based survey were followed for a period of 1 year. Although the overall prevalence of urinary symptoms increased during the year, substantial within-subject variation in urinary symptomatology occurred, with up to a quarter of men reporting urgency and dribbling to have improved whilst one third of men reported other urinary symptoms to have deteriorated. Levels of bothersomeness caused by urinary symptoms did not show much change during the period of follow-up. An overall increase of 19% in urinary peak flow which was also consistent across all age groups was present at 1 year compared with baseline, even after adjusting for increased urinary void volume. A slow progression in the extent to which interference with selected activities of daily living by urinary dysfunction occurred. This was greater in men of working age (40-64 years), compared with men of retirement age (65-79 years). A longer period of observation is required in order to determine the extent to which a consistent pattern of urinary symptomatology exists in untreated BPH, as well as whether interference with daily living activities continues to progress over time. |
