Abstract

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in the ageing male and represent a significant burden on both the patient and the health-care system worldwide. There are a large number of high-quality trials and guidelines to support clinical practice. In this chapter, we will be exploring the assessment of men with voiding LUTS and the recommended medical and surgical therapies, as well as their outcomes. Treatment of storage LUTS is being discussed in other chapters.
