TI  - Correlation of male overactive bladder with intravesical prostatic protrusion.

AB  - PURPOSE: Male overactive bladder (OAB) may be caused by prostatic pathologies 
      such as bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) 
      has been found to correlate with BOO and acute urinary retention. We investigated 
      the interrelation between male OAB symptoms and IPP for estimating anatomical 
      changes to the prostate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We assessed 179 consecutive men 
      aged >40 years who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms. The initial 
      evaluation included International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and quality of 
      life assessments, transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), uroflowmetry, and postvoid 
      residual urine volume. The degree of IPP was determined by the distance from the 
      tip of the protrusion to the circumference of the bladder at the base of the 
      prostate gland. Patients with IPP <0.5 cm were defined as group A (n=114), and 
      patients having 0.5 cm</=IPP<1 cm were defined as group B (n=38). The others were 
      defined as group C (n=27). RESULTS: A total of 51 patients complained of urgency 
      in group A, 38 patients in group B, and 27 patients in group C. Likewise, 14 
      patients had a history of acute urinary retention in group A, 8 patients in group 
      B, and 16 patients in group C. IPP grade had a statistically significant relation 
      with both OAB and a history of acute urinary retention. CONCLUSIONS: The results 
      of our study have shown that male OAB is correlated with IPP. However, larger 
      scale studies are needed to confirm these results.
