Summary

The goal of this prospective observational study is to identify the common pathogens and antibiotic sensitivity pattern in urine samples of men with symptomatic BPH and to assess severity of LUTS in patients with symptomatic BPH using IPSS score before and after antibiotic therapy.

Detailed description

This was a hospital-based prospective observational study. All patients with symptomatic BPH attending the Urology Out-Patient Department (OPD) of the study site were enrolled. Informed and written consent was obtained from all participants. Demographic data were recorded, and detailed histories were taken regarding the duration and symptoms of BPH, including incomplete bladder emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining, nocturia, and relevant past history. IPSS scoring was conducted. A thorough clinical examination, including general physical, systemic, and digital rectal examination, was performed. During the rectal examination, the prostate was checked for nodules, softness, induration, or tenderness. Urine culture and antibiotic sensitivity tests were conducted to assess the bacteriological profile.
