M ictu ritio n com plaints in m ale patients are a com m on problem in the general practice.The com plaints are sum m arized as low er urinary tra c t sym ptom s (LUTS) and are often an expression o f prostate enlargem ent and the resulting bladder o utlet obstruction. D ifferential diagnosis has to exclude prostate-related LUTS. Basic diagnostics are perform ed by means of detailed physical history, Combur te s t and ultrasound. The m ost com m on diagnoses can already be made a t th is point and therapy can be initiated. If secondary changes o f th e urinary tra c t (dilated upper urinary tra ct, bladder diverticulum form ation) already show, specia list assessm ent and operative therapy are indicated.
