Introduction: According to previous studies, aging, gender, bladder volume and pathological states, such as bladder outflow obstruction, affect bladder wall thickness (BWT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between BWT and the International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) before and after tamsulosin treatment.Methods: In this study, 60 BPH patients were included. After obtaining informed consent, data were gathered using questionnaires to determine IPSS. After that, prostate-specific antigen was measured and a clinical examination, including a digital rectal examination, was performed for all patients. BWT was determined by transabdominal ultrasound. Finally, all patients were treated with tamsulosin (0.4 mg/day) for 2 months. After completing treatment, the IPSS and BWT were measured again and compared with the initial findings.Results: In total, 44 patients completed treatment. Patients aged 61.7 ± 9.2 years old. The mean ± standard deviation of IPSS and BWT were 14.6 ± 5.0 and 5.36 ± 1.28 mm before treatment, while they significantly (p < 0.0001) decreased to 8.2 ± 4.7 and 4.69 ± 1.23 mm, respectively, after treatment. Chi-square test showed that the decrease in BWT was significantly correlated with the improvement in IPSS (p = 0.002; r = 0.449).Conclusion: After treatment with tamsulosin, patients experienced a reduction in their BWT which was significantly correlated with improvement in their IPSS. We conclude that transabdominal evaluation of BWT could be included in the follow-up assessment in BPH.

Objectives: Our objective was determination of the correlation between mean bladder wall thickness and mean IPSS in BPH diagnosed patients. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Department of Urology & Renal Transplantation, Punjab Medical College / Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: Six months from 01-04-2016 to 30-09-2016. Material & Methods: Total 70 patients were enrolled for study from outpatient department of Urology, AHF. IPSS was calculated and recorded. Transabdominal ultrasound KUB was done to measure bladder wall thickness. Urine complete examination and culture was done to rule out UTI. Existence of bladder tumor was ruled out by previous history and ultrasonography. The data was collected on a Proforma by myself. Results: Out of 70 enrolled cases, 47.14% (n=33) were aged 50-60 years whereas 52.86% (n=37) were 61-70 years of age. Mean age was calculated as 61.27+5.31 years. Mean Bladder Wall thickness was 3.64+0.72 and IPSS was calculated to be 12.84+2.79 (r0.9056). Correlation between mean bladder wall thickness and mean IPSS in patients having benign prostatic hyperplasia was calculated as significant. Conclusion: In patients suffering from BOO due to BPH, we have found a very strong positive correlation between mean IPSS and mean BWT. However, bigger studies using standardized techniques are required to establish this fact.
