Résumé

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common clinical encounters for most primary care practitioners (PCPs). More than 50% of men aged > 50 years will develop significant lower urinary tract symptoms. Managing these symptoms can be complicated and requires an informed discussion between the PCP and the patient. This article provides a comprehensive review for PCPs regarding the evaluation and management of LUTS in men and when to consider a urology referral. Over the past 3 decades, medications have become the most common BPH and LUTS therapy, but recently, newer minimally invasive surgeries have challenged this paradigm. PCPs are in a unique position to help many patients who present with early stage LUTS. A clear understanding of the available treatment options will help PCPs counsel patients appropriately about lifestyle modification, medications, and surgical treatment options for their symptoms.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common clinical encounters for most primary care practitioners (PCPs). More than 50% of men aged > 50 years will develop significant lower urinary tract symptoms. Managing these symptoms can be complicated and requires an informed discussion between the PCP and the patient. This article provides a comprehensive review for PCPs regarding the evaluation and management of LUTS in men and when to consider a urology referral.
OBSERVATIONS METHODS
Over the past 3 decades, medications have become the most common BPH and LUTS therapy, but recently, newer minimally invasive surgeries have challenged this paradigm. PCPs are in a unique position to help many patients who present with early stage LUTS.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
A clear understanding of the available treatment options will help PCPs counsel patients appropriately about lifestyle modification, medications, and surgical treatment options for their symptoms.
