The Effects of Behçet’s Disease on LUTS in Male Patients
Journal Title: Hippocrates Medical Journal - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract Objective In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between Behçet's disease (BD) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Materials and Methods In june 2019 to 2021, 56 male patients who applied to Pamukkale University rheumatology and dermatology outpatient clinics, were diagnosed with Behçet's disease according to the criteria of the international Behçet study group and accepted to participate in the study, were subjected to urological evaluation. The patients were evaluated in terms of Behçet's disease and urological conditions causing LUTS, and the relationship between Behçet's disease and LUTS was examined. Results The mean age of the patients was 42.6 years. The mean activity score of BD was 4.6±3.2 and the mean IPSS score was 7.3±7.3. Gender did not have a significant effect on the instantaneous activity score of Behçet's disease. A statistically significant finding was found between Behçet's disease instantaneous activity score and IPSS score, frequency of daytime urination, nocturia and urgency. However, no significant relationship was found with uroflowmetry parameters.ConclusionLower urinary tract involvement in BD without neurological involvement may present with symptom scores before uroflowmetry parameters.
