Objective: To determine the incidence of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) among patients visiting the gynaecology Outpatients Department (OPD) of Shalamar Hospital. Material & Methods: A cross sectional study was performed and 300 patients were recruited. Patients aged 40 to 60 years, visiting the Gynaecology OPD at Shalamar Hospital, Lahore were enrolled from 1st February 2018 to 30th September 2018. The participants were categorized in to two sets: Premenopausal (n=187) and Post-Menopausal (n=113). They were asked to fill the international Consultation and Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-UI Short Form). Results: Increased urinary frequency was found to be the most commonly reported symptoms (48%).Stress incontinence and urge incontinence were reported by 58% subjects amongst postmenopausal category and 42% in the premenopausal category. Presence of LUTS was observed to be directly proportional with age. Conclusion: A high incidence of LUTS was observed among patients visiting gynaecology OPD of Shalamar Hospital, Lahore. Risk factors of LUTS and incontinence, like obesity and multiparity were frequency reported. Further studies are required to understand the magnitude of this problem in general population of Pakistan.

Introduction: Lower urinary tract symptoms are one of the commonestpresentation in urology clinics. Lower Urinary tract symptoms include storage symptoms(frequency, urgency, urge incontinency and nocturia), voiding symptoms (hesitancy, dysuria,intermittency, poor stream of urine, terminal dribbling and residual urine sensation). Correctdetermination of prevalence of LUTS might help the health service provider to plan appropriatemanagement strategies. So this study was designed to determine frequency of LUTS in menaged 40 or above. Study Design: Descriptive, cross sectional study. Period: January 2015to December 2015. Setting: Urology Department of Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur.Materials & Methods: Total 228 patients of 40-80 years of age with lower urinary tract symptomswere included. Patients with foleys in situ, previously operated for urinary tract disease, urinarytract stones and urinary bladder mass were excluded. These patients were assessed todetermine frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms. Results: Mean age was 65.69 ± 7.91years. Mean duration of disease was 5.36 ± 2.19 months. Frequency of LUTS was seen in 138(60.53%) men with urgency in 22.81%, nocturia in 57.89%, frequency in 19.30%, poor streamin 15.79%, incomplete emptying of bladder in 33.33%, urge incontinence in 22.81%, terminaldribbling in 55.26% and hesitancy in 15.16% men. Conclusion: This study concluded thatthe frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms were urgency in 22.81%, nocturia in 57.89%,frequency in 19.30%, poor stream in 15.79%, incomplete emptying of bladder in 33.33%, urgeincontinence in 22.81%, terminal dribbling in 55.26% and hesitancy in 15.16% patients of age≥40 years with nocturia being the most common symptom and frequency of all symptomsincreases with age.

Abstract Evaluation of Quality of Life among Patients with Multiple Sclerosis and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: A Cross-Sectional Study Background: Urinary complications are prevalent among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and evaluating the usefulness of treatment requires a direct measurement of the health-related quality of life (QOL). Therefore, this study was carried out aiming to determine the QOL of patients with MS and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out using multi-stage random cluster sampling method on 603 patients with MS who referred to the neurology clinic of Kashani and Alzahra treatment centers affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. The diagnosis of MS was approved among these patients based on the 2010 Revised McDonald Diagnostic Criteria by a neuroscientist. Data were collected through interviews using the questionnaire standard International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQOL-54). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. The significance level was considered to be less than 0.050. Results: The prevalence of LUTS among patients with MS was 84.2%, the prevalence rate of mixed, irritative, and obstructive urinary symptoms was 52.2%, 25.5%, and 6.5%, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the combined dimensions of physical and mental health of QOL between the two groups with and without LUTS (P < 0.05). Moreover, logistic regression analysis revealed that there was a higher probability of a urinary tract problem among patients with MS and high EDSS score [0.67 (0.485-0.930), P = 0.02]. Conclusions: Due to the high prevalence rate of mixed LUTS among patients with MS and decrease in QOL, screening and attention to these symptoms are necessary in order to prevent secondary outcomes and improve QOL.
