Abstract

Aims: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in aging men. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) develops with advancing age. The incidence of inguinal hernia also increases with age. A significant number of elderly men with symptoms of BPH have inguinal hernia at the same time.

Study Design: Prospective study.
