Summary

Non-neurogenic male lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) is one of the most common symptom presented in urological clinic. Male LUTS could be a result of a combination of many different conditions, including benign prostate hypertrophy, overactive bladder, diabetes, noctural polyuria, sleep apnoea etc. Also male LUTS has shown to have close relationship with metabolic and cardiovascular conditions. Because of the increasing evidences to suggest a close relationship of cardiovascular condition and metabolic problems and male LUTS, this is a study to retrospective review of the patients assessed in this urology clinic and have a more in-depth assessment of the relationship of the baseline characteristics of these medical conditions with the presenting symptoms, as well as the long term urological and overall clinical outcomes of these patients.
