Objective: Objective of the study was to evaluate the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by measuring the maximum flow of urine, flow time, voided volume and voided time by uroflowmetry and post void residual urine with the help of ultrasound.
Method: There were 20 patients in our study age was 49-77 years with mean age 66.35 ± 7.77 years.
Results: Our study data results show. The mean flow, maximum flow and flow time. It was also disturbed in all these patients with their means 5.21 ± 2.006, 9.67 ± 3.2 ml/sec and 34.94 ± 14.65/sec respectively. The residual volume showed increase in the range of 30-230 ml with the mean of 114-65 ± 94.97 ml.
Conclusion: We conclude from this study that uroflowmetry plays key role to evaluate obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia by measuring the maximum flow of urine, voided volume, voided time and post void residual volume of urine.
Key Words: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), uroflowmetry, urine flow rate, ultrasound.
