Abstract
BackgroundMost disorders of the lower urinary tract are functional, so diagnoses are typically based on urodynamic findings. Treatment is likely to fail if the pathology is not correctly diagnosed.ObjectivesThere are various diagnostic tests for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). In this study, we evaluated the value of urodynamic testing to diagnose the causes of lower urinary symptoms in male patients.Patients and MethodsUrodynamic tests were performed in 407 patients referred to the urology clinic in Baqiyatallah in 2014 with complaints of LUTS, and the diagnosis was based on the findings of the tests.ResultsThe mean age of patients in this study was 50.88 years, and most patients were in their third decade (20 - 30 years of age). Urinary frequency (28.8%), enuresis (22.22%), and incontinence (16.12%) were the most common complaints. The most prevalent disorder was bladder sensation disorder.ConclusionsPatients made various complaints, and several pathologies were diagnosed, which emphasizes the importance of using urodynamic tests for subsequent medical approaches as a non-invasive, accessible, and inexpensive tool.
