Abstract

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) has traditionally been attributed to the male gender. Since it has been taken for granted for decades that lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of aging men are caused by prostatic obstruction these symptoms have been called as "prostatism symptoms" and have been the main indication for prostatectomy.
