Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Men Hann-Chorng Kuo Department of Urology Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital
Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Men • Storage symptoms – increased bladder sensation, frequency, urgency, urge incontinence, nocturia • Empty symptoms- hesitancy, dysuria, intermittency, small caliber of urine, terminal dribble, residual sensation • Painful symptoms- Pelvic pain, perineal pain, urethral pain
Symptom Score • Boyarsky & Madsen-Iversen indexes, IPSS, AUA symptom score • 7 items,scoring 0-5, total score 35 • A quarter of men >60 years had moderate symptoms (IPSS >8) • Symptom score is not reliable in defining BOO, 1/3 with LUTS non-BOO
Assessment of LUTS in Men • Uroflowmetry and residual urine • Cystometry and EMG • Prostatic volume and configuration • Pressure flow study • Cystourethroscopy • Neurological examination
Increased Bladder Sensation • Hypersensitivity • Reduced bladder compliance • Detrusor underactivity • Detrusor overactivity • Postmicturition residual urine sensation
Urgency frequency • Sensory urgency • Detrusor overactivity • Poor relaxation of urethral sphincter • Interstitial cystitis • Bladder outlet obstruction • Neurogenic voiding dysfunction
Sensory urgency • Urinary tract infection • Lower ureteral stone • Foreign body • Surgery of bladder wall • Diuresis • Bladder pathology (carcinoma in situ)
Detrusor Overactivity • Poor cortical perfusion • Post-obstructive overactivity • Ageing process • Idiopathic detrusor overactivity • Low detrusor contractility (DHIC)
Urge Incontinence • Urinary incontinence at urge sensation • UTI & bladder foreign body • Bladder outlet obstruction • Neurogenic detrusor overactivity • Idiopathic detrusor overactivity • Combined with stress incontinence or chronic retention
Nocturia • LUTS are common in elderly • Nocturia is the third most bothersome LUTS • Prevalence of nocturia increases to 80% in patients aged over 80 years • Nocturia is one of the most common causes of disturbed sleep pattern
Etiology of Nocturia • Detrusor overactivity • Hypersensitive bladder • Bladder outlet obstruction • Nocturnal polyuria • Small bladder capacity
Nocturnal Polyuria • Excessive amount of urine production at night due to postural change • Noctural polyuria >35% daily urine • Nocturnal urine amount > 900 mL • Abnormal lower urinary tract function • A combination of etiologies
Hesitancy - Poor Urethral Sphincter Relaxation • Learned habit • Chronic prostatitis • Pelvic floor hypertonicity • Occult neuropathy • Increased bladder sensitivity
Intermittency of urine • Bladder outlet obstruction • Poor relaxed external sphincter • Increased bladder sensitivity • Detrusor underactivity • Detrusor overactivity & inadequate contractility
VUDS Analysis in 112 Non-obstructive Men with LUTS • Normal bladder & urethra 25 (22.3%) • Hypersensitive bladder 17 (15.2%) • Detrusor instability 6 (4.5%) • Detrusor failure 3 (2.7%) • Poor relaxed external sphincter 61(54.5%)
Painful syndrome • Painful bladder – Interstitial cystitis, BOO, poor compliant bladder, TCC(CIS) • Painful urethra - UTI, urethral stricture, BPO, chronic prostatitis • Painful pelvis or perineum - pelvic floor hypertonicity, chronic prostatitis, spastic urethral sphincter, perianal inflammation
Assessment of Painful Syndromes in Men • Uroflowmetry • Urine routine & culture • Prostatic massage and EPS examination • Cystoscopy & biopsy • KCL test & Bladder hydrodilatation • Cystometry & pressure flow study
Postprostatectomy LUTS • Symptoms are not reliable in predicting urodynamic findings • Over half of patients with post-prostatectomy LUTS had a small total prostate volume and resected adenoma weight, indicating non-BOO before TURP
Etiology of Post-prostatectomy LUTS • Normal urethra &bladder 17(9.1%) • Detrusor overactivity 18(9.6%) • Detrusor underactivity 35(18.7%) • Poor relaxed external sphincter 36(19.3%) • DHIC 27 (14.4%) • Bladder outlet obstruction 52 (27.8%)
Postprostatecomy BOO and Incontinence • Among 52 with BOO, 12 had prostatic BOO, 13 bladder neck BOO, 27 urethral BOO (51.9%) • Obstructive symptoms are less frequent in pure DI • Urge incontinence was found more in DI (66.7%) and DHIC (66.7%) • In 74 incontinent patients, 18 had BOO (24.3%)
