Purpose To evaluate the correlation between Visual Prostate Symptom Score (VPSS) and International (IPSS). Methods We enrolled 240 new male patients who had visited National Police Hospital more than twice during a 6-month period starting from July 2013. At initial visit, Korean version of IPSS VPSS, uroflowmetry, transrectal ultrasonography were used to urinary symptoms. After medication, VPSS questionnaires issued again. The Spearman test Mantel-Haenszel relationship VPSS. Results median...

Purpose: To investigate any associations between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)/benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Materials Methods:In all, 1,224 male police officers in their 50s who had participated health examinations were included.LUTS/BPH was assessed by serum prostate-specific antigen, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), transrectal ultrasonography, maximum flow rate (Q max), postvoid residual urine volume (PVR).In addition, testosterone...

We examined the association between thyroid hormone and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)/benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).A total of 5,708 middle aged men were included. LUTS/BPH assessed using international prostate symptom score (IPSS), volume (TPV), maximal flow rate (Qmax), a full metabolic workup. Thyroid stimulating (TSH) free thyroxine (FT4) levels measured chemiluminescence immunoassay. divided participants into quartiles based on their TSH FT4 levels: first to fourth quartile...

Contradictory data have been reported about the association between testosterone levels and of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL).The aim this study was to elucidate LDL levels.A cross-sectional conducted that included 7268 men who had participated in a health examination. Men took agents influence serum lipid profiles within previous 6 months were excluded. A full metabolic work-up level checks performed. The main outcome measures <3.5 ng/ml prevalence each decile their polynomial...

We performed the present study to evaluate prognostic factors for surgical outcome of varicocelectomy in treatment a painful varicocele.A total 77 patients undergoing were enrolled. All examined body mass index (BMI), varicocele grade, testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing (LH), semen analysis, maximal vein diameter, and discrepancy testicular volume. At follow-up visit 3~6 months after surgery, patient response was graded as complete response, partial or no response....

Purpose: We investigated the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)/benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and chronic periodontitis (CP).Methods: A total of 103 middle-aged men who had received a health checkup were included. All participant data prospectively collected. CP was defined as 30% increase in number probed sites with clinical attachment level ≥4 mm among all sites. LUTS/BPH assessed using transrectal ultrasonography, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS),...

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte (LMR) have recently been proposed as easily accessible inflammatory biomarkers surrogate markers for metabolic disease, cardiovascular malignancies, including prostate cancer. However, scant studies investigated the association of NLR, PLR, LMR with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Data from 8,727 middle-aged men who had participated in a health checkup were analyzed. BPH was defined volume...

We investigated the association between moderate-to-severe prostatitis-like symptoms and predictors of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) progression.Men who underwent health checkups were analyzed. classified as "moderate to severe" if pain score according National Institutes Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptoms Index was ≥8 progression BPH defined having a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≥1.6 ng/mL, total prostate volume (TPV) ≥31 mL, international symptom (IPSS) ≥20, maximal flow rate...

Abstract Objective There are little data on the endogenous testosterone effect hemoglobin or hematocrit. Moreover, these limited by a cross‐sectional study design, small participant number, and no adjustment for confounding factors. Therefore, present was conducted to address aforementioned limitations of previous studies using large dataset propensity score matched analysis. Materials Methods Men who underwent health check‐up were analyzed. Participants divided into two groups cut‐off value...

Objective In the present study we evaluated association between obesity, assessed by dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and urinary incontinence (UI). Methods The was performed on 5792 women who had taken part in Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. UI deemed to be if a woman answered “yes” question “Do you have current UI?”. Obesity using anthropometry DEXA. Data were analyzed Chi‐squared tests, t‐tests, receiver operating characteristic curves, logistic regression...

Purpose: Obesity is related to many diseases, including urological conditions.We investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and treatment of male obesity. Materials Methods:This study included 17,485 men older than 20 years age who participated in fourth, fifth, sixth administrations Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey.Two main cutoff points for obesity were defined: a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m 2 BMI≥30 .Additionally, we defined requiring pharmacotherapy as presence or...

An initial dose of tamsulosin 0.2 mg is frequently prescribed for Asian men. We investigated the safety and efficacy 0.4 as in Korean men with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) everyday clinical practice.

To investigate the incidence of nitrituria and relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS).Data from Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey V were used. A total 19,083 participants included. The chi-square test, Mantel-Haenszel extension, logistic regression analysis, multiple linear used to analyze data.A 2.0% had nitrituria. significantly increased with age (P trend<0.001). In addition, in women began increase fifth decade, more than men, this difference was maintained 60s,...

Purpose: The prostate of the young adult is not a subject which has received much attention, and vast majority studies have placed their emphasis predominantly on elderly patients. It seems, then, that an investigation in younger patients warranted, perhaps long past due. Thus, we attempted to determine mean volume Koreans 20’s. We also reported relationships between size body mass index, as well surface area, compared prostates normal Korean youths with those chronic prostatitis Materials...
