Book Chapter Description

LUTS assessment aims to pick up whether the presentation might indicate a serious underlying condition which needs a priority investigation to exclude malignancy, neurological disease or other cause. Uncomplicated LUTS need to be assessed with history and examination, supported by symptom assessment questionnaires, bladder diary and free flow rate testing. Urodynamics to assess storage (filling cystometry) and voiding (pressure flow studies) are used where conservative measures have proved insufficient and interventional therapy is being considered.
