Abstract

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men. To estimate the prostate size ultrasonography is the basic non‐invasive investigation that can be done before deciding the plan of management. Present study was aimed to establish a relationship in patients of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms by correlating International Prostate symptom score with sonography (Prostate volume). Present study was single‐center, prospective, observational study, conducted in male patients with age more than 40 years, having Lower urinary tract symptomsm. A clinical questionnaire including detailed History, examination, IPSS score was made. The Maximum number of patients were from the sixth and seventh decade of life, almost 50%. 46.7% individuals had grade I prostatomegaly. 12.5% had grade III prostatomegaly and the remaining 40.8% had grade II prostatomegaly. 69 patients (57.5%) had a prostate size of less than 50 grams, followed by 39 patients (32.5%) who had prostate sizes ranging from 50‐70 grams. The remaining 12 patients (10%) had a prostate size of >70 grams. In our study maximum, i.e. 60 % (72 patients) were having moderate symptoms. Followed by 37 patients (30.8%) were having severe symptoms while remaining 11 patients were having mild symptoms. There is a significant correlation between age and IPSS score. There is a moderate but statistically significant correlation between prostate sizes when compared to the IPSS score. There is a significantly higher correlation between post‐void residue and IPSS score. There is no correlation between pre‐void residue and IPSS score.
