Correlates of reduction in residual urine volume and improvement in urine flow rate in Benign prostatic hyperplasia patients flf Assamese ethnicity after transurethral resection of prostate

摘要

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common histological condition among older men, which conveys its morbidity through lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and complications, such as acute urinary retention, obstructive uropathy. and urinary tract infections. BPH patients have reduced urine flow rate and increased residual urine volume. Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is the best treatment option and it improves the LUTS and urodynamic parameters of BPH patients. This study determined the correlates (age of the patients, prostate volume, transitional zone volume and ratio, residual urine volume at admission, urine flow rate at admission and serum prostate specific antigen at admission) of reduction in residual urine volume and improvement in urine flow rate post TURP in BPH patients of Assamese ethnicity. Significant reduction in residual urine volume at 3 months post TURP was found to be positively correlated with residual urine volume at admission. And improvement in urine flow rate in BPH patients 3 months post TURP was found to be positively correlated with age of the patient and prostate volume and negatively correlated with urine flow rate at admission.
