Objectives: To study the presentation and natural course of cystitis cystica et glandularis. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with histopathologically confirmed cystitis cystica et glandularis from March 2016 to March 2018 who at least completed their 2 years’ follow-up was performed. Perioperative details along with the last available follow-up were included in the analysis. Results: A total of 10 patients were included. The mean age (± standard deviation) was 33.4 (±14.0) years and nine (90%) were men. The most common presentation was storage and voiding lower urinary tract symptoms (80%) along with haematuria (40%) and dysuria (20%). Four patients had the presence of hydronephrosis in preoperative imaging, of which three patients had bilateral mild hydroureteronephrosis. All the patients underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumour as all were diagnosed with urinary bladder mass on preoperative imaging. All the patients had a trigonal lesion with a bullous appearance partially obstructing the bladder neck. Six patients underwent double J stenting in the perioperative period. The mean (± standard deviation) follow-up duration was 32.8 (±7.5) months. Patients were kept on regular surveillance with imaging and cystoscopy as indicated. Eight patients (80%) developed recurrence in the follow-up period. The mean number of recurrences was 1.5 (±1.1). One of the patients had to undergo augmentation ileocystoplasty with bilateral ureteric reimplantation because of the recurrent lesion with small contracted bladder, while another patient underwent cystectomy with urinary diversion owing to recurrence and refractory lower urinary tract symptoms. Besides, there was no evidence of malignancy after this entity in any of the patients. Conclusion: Cystitis cystica et glandularis is a rare clinic pathological entity which often mimics bladder tumour. Cystitis cystica et glandularis is common in men and often presents with lower urinary tract symptoms. Transurethral resection forms the mainstay of treatment. However, it is often associated with upper tract hydronephrosis. Its controversial premalignant nature compounded with recurrence and risk of upper tract deterioration warrants close surveillance.

Medication adherence and persistence patterns among patients with lower urinary tract symptoms/benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) were analyzed. Electronic medical records of patients from the Reliant Medical Group were examined to evaluate adherence and persistence patterns. A total of 1,807 patients with LUTS/BPH were included in the study, and the number of patients at least 50 years of age was 1,748/1,807 (97%). Overall, 15.77% of patients were prescribed index prescription once, and no patients on combination alpha-blocker and 5-alpha reductase inhibitor therapies were prescribed their index prescriptions once. For all patients with LUTS/BPH, the mean number of prescriptions filled was 6.26, and the percentage of men persisting on index therapy for ≥4 years was 48%. Patients with LUTS/BPH showed a high proportion of both adherent and persistent treatment patterns, especially among patients taking combination therapy. The long follow-up time in our study provides evidence that patients are experiencing sufficient symptom relief to tolerate the challenges of remaining adherent and persistent.
