Objective: To compare Solifenacin versus solifenacin plus tamsulosin in terms of international prostate symptom score (IPSS) for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients with unilateral double-J (DJ) ureteric stents. Study Design: Comparative cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Urology, Rawalpindi from Sep 2018 to Feb 2019. Methodology: A total of two hundred (n=200) patients of either gender aged 20-50 years, who underwentunilateral DJ stenting for different endourological procedures, were enrolled after satisfying inclusion/exclusioncriteria and then randomly allocated to group A (Solifenacin 5mg once daily (OD) ± placebo for 2 weeks) or group B (Solifenacin 5mg OD ± Tamsulosin 0.4 mg OD for 2 weeks) respectively. Baseline (1st post-operative day) and Post 02 weeks treatment IPSS was recorded and analyzed. Results: Mean age of presentation in group A and group B was 41.11 ± 6.45 vs 39.86 ± 5.34 years with p-value 0.14. Majority of patients in both groups were male (34% female in group A while 31% in group B, difference being statistically insignificant p 0.65). Baseline IPSS in group A and group B was 10.33 ± 2.72 vs 10.46 ± 3.12 with pvalue 0.76 (statistically insignificant) while post 02 weeks treatment IPSS in group A and B was 9.20 ± 2.67 vs 7.88 ± 2.63 respectively with p-value <0.001, the difference being statistically significant. Conclusions: Current study revealed significant advantage of combination therapy (solifenacin ± tamsulosin)compared with solifenacin monotherapy in lowering LUTS based on IPSS in patients having unilateral......

Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common benign tumour in men. About 50% of men at the age of 50 years develop BPH and about half of them report to the doctors with some form of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Objectives: To see the therapeutic effect of Tamsulosin on alternate day administration in comparison to daily dose for men who had been suffering from LUTS due to BPH. Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was carried out at Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka in a consecutive fashion for about 18 months. A total of 152 patients were selected from outpatient department and after assessing them through inclusion and exclusion criteria and grouped randomly in three groups Group-A (50 patients), Group-B (50 patients) and Group C (52 patients); all the patients were treated with Tablet Tamsulosin (0.4mg) daily for first three months. Then next 15 months they were treated as; Group-A received Tablet Tamsulosin (0.4mg) daily, Group-B received Tablet Tamsulosin (0.4mg) every alternate day and Group C received placebo Tablet (Folic acid 5 mg) daily. Data were collected at the beginning and end of 3rd month, 4th month, 7th month and 18th month of study, in the form of international prostate symptom score (IPSS), maximum urinary flow per second (Qmax) and post-voidal residue (PVR). Results: This study showed that at the initial three month, IPSS score declined in all three groups, Qmax improved and PVR reduced in all groups. In next phase of study; in Group-A patient there was progressive and significant improvement of all parameters (IPSS, Qmax and PVR) at the end of study. In Group-B patient also showed similar result at the end of study. In Group-C patient showed statistically significant difference in outcome in relation to Group-A and Group-B i.e. more in IPSS, less in Qmax and increase in PVR. Conclusion: With this study it is clearly evident that tamsulosin (0.4mg) therapy significantly improves symptoms of men suffering for LUTS due to BPH. And alternate day therapy having similar therapeutic outcome in relation to every day therapy. Journal of Armed Forces Medical College Bangladesh Vol.15 (1) 2019: 22-26

Introduction: JJ stenting has been routinely used in endourology with a wide variety of implications. These stents have beneficial effects in postoperative period improving surgical outcome. Though they are widely used in urology practice, JJ stents cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in majority of patients. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that alpha blockers reduce lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after rigid ureterorenoscopy in postoperative time period up to 3 weeks. Study Design: It was a randomized clinical trial (RCT). Setting: The study was conducted in KRL hospital, Islamabad. Patients presenting in outpatient / emergency department were selected for the study. Duration of Study: Six months (15th July 2016 to 15th Jan’ 2017) Methods: A prospective randomized study was conducted in total 100 patients undergoing rigid ureterorenoscopy (URS). Patients were randomized into an intervention Group A and Control Group B. In Group A tamsulosin 0.4mg was given after rigid ureterorenoscopy, while in Group B no tamsulosin was given except placebo. Primary outcome were lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), which were measured by international prostate symptoms score (IPSS) up to 3 weeks postoperatively. Results: The mean IPSS at 3rd week in postoperative phase of rigid URS for Group A was 4.76± 4.14315 and in Group B was 27.28 ± 5.03879 with the P value of 0.0001 which was statistically significant and also less than 0.05. So IPSS was statistically lower in Group A as compared to Group B up to 3 weeks post operatively. In conclusion, a significant statistical difference was found for Double J (DJ) stent related symptoms between the two groups. Conclusion: Alpha blockers reduce lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in postoperative period of rigid ureterorenoscopy up to 3 weeks.

Abstract Background Women frequently complain of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during pregnancy due to multiple physiological and potentially pathological changes. Still, there is limited data on the characteristics of LUTS for pregnant women in Palestine. Therefore, this study was designed to assess LUTS among pregnant women in Palestine, in addition to identifying factors that exacerbate LUTS during pregnancy. Methods We devised a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study that used the Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI) and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ) tools to assess LUTS during pregnancy in an antenatal care clinic setting. Multiple linear regressions were conducted to determine variables that significantly related to LUTS (UDI-6 and IIQ-7 scores as dependent variables). Results The study recruited 306 pregnant women. Regarding LUTS findings, the participants scored a mean of 31.9 ± 24.9 out of 100 points (6.7 ± 5.2 out of 21) for the IIQ-7 scale and a mean of 31.2 ± 19.2 out of 100 points (5.6 ± 3.4 out of 18) for the UDI-6 scale. Regression analysis showed that older women (p = 0.031), women with a higher body mass index (p < 0.001), and women in the third trimester of pregnancy (p = 0.023), were independently associated with high UDI score. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that obese and overweight patients (p = 0.006) and multiparity (p = 0.026) were independently associated with high IIQ score. Conclusions High body mass index is independently associated with both UDI and IIQ scores for LUTS. Several strategies should be arranged to raise the awareness of females of childbearing age in Palestine regarding LUTS during pregnancy and factors which may exacerbate LUTS, such as obesity and multiparity. Thus, preventive measures should be implemented, such as serial assessment of LUTS during antenatal care to respond timely to this frequent problem.
