Abstract:**
**Objective:** This study aims to evaluate
the correlation between prostate size and the severity of lower urinary tract
symptoms (LUTS) in men attending a tertiary care center.
**Methods:** A prospective study was
conducted on 1000 male patients aged 40 years and above who presented with
LUTS. Prostate volume was measured using transabdominal ultrasound, and LUTS
severity was assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).
Statistical analysis was performed to determine the correlation between
prostate size and LUTS severity.
**Results:** The study found a significant
correlation between increasing prostate size and LUTS severity, with a higher
IPSS in patients with larger prostate volumes. However, a subset of patients
with mild LUTS despite enlarged prostates was identified, indicating other
potential contributing factors.
**Conclusion:** Prostate size is an
important determinant of LUTS severity, but other pathophysiological factors
must be considered. The findings emphasize the need for individualized
treatment approaches for patients with LUTS.
