Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS)
The symptoms commonly associated with BPH are collectively called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). BPH is not always the cause of these symptoms. An enlarged prostate may be accompanied by few symptoms, while severe LUTS may be present with normal or even small prostates and are most likely due to other conditions. Many experts are now categorizing LUTS are as either voiding or storage (irritative) symptoms to help define the source of the problem. Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) can also be associated with prostate cancer and prostatitis, as well as other underlying medical conditions, so it is important to get an accurate diagnosis of the cause of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS).
