International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS), Prostate volume (PV), Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS)Abstract
Objective: Analyze grading of IPSS (International Prostatic Symptom Score) and PV (Prostate Volume) of BPH patients
in a subset of Karachi Population.
Methodology: A 103 Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) patients were recruited. A cross-sectional study was done Prostate
Volume was recorded along with their IPSS also noted.
Result: Among BPH patients 25.2% patients had prostate volume of 25 to 30 ml , 52.5% of patient had prostate volume
of 30 to 50ml and 22.3% of patients had prostate volume above 50 ml. In IPSS grading 82.5% patients were under moderate
symptom group and 17.5% were under severe symptom group.
Conclusion: International Prostatic Symptom Score continues to increase as Prostate volume increases.
