Benign prostate conditions, such as hyperplasia and prostate inflammations, cause lower urinary tract symptoms and are perhaps the most common reason for a visit to the urologist. Prostate hyperplasia occurs in all men over the age of 45. The urologist will assess the patient’s symptoms and apply the appropriate treatment, which may be either pharmacological or surgical. Lower urinary tract symptoms can also be caused by strictures of the urethra. In this case, the urologist will evaluate the issue and apply the appropriate treatment.
