Abstract:
Benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) and associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common conditions in men, which increase in frequency and severity with age, and have a significant impact on quality of life. Chronic prostatic inflammation is increasingly being recognized as a key component of BPO. This may lead to new targets for the management of BPO/LUTS. This podcast is based on presentations from a symposium titled 'Unveiling prostatic inflammation to optimize LUTS management' held at the European Association of Urology 2023 Congress. The presenters outline evidence of a role for prostatic inflammation in the development and progression of BPO/LUTS, approaches to the identification of biomarkers of inflammation, and the implications of prostatic inflammation for the optimal management of BPO/LUTS.
