Abstract:
We analyzed one hundred and thirty nine cases of urodynamic findings of male patients who had voiding problems without organic or neurologic lesions. There were 45 patients (32.4%) with normal urodynamic findings and 94 patients (67.6%) with abnormal finding. The most frequent finding in the latter was high maximum urethral closure pressure in 41 cases (29.5%). The popular voiding symptoms were residual urine sensation (75.5%), frequency (67.6%), hesitancy (63.3%) and so on. There was no correlation between urodynamic findings and symptoms. Although many patients were lost to follow up, the results of the management were good. So we expect that it would be better to manage such patients according to the results of urodynamic findings than to manage only by the symptoms.
