A study of men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) suggests that the presence of comorbid diabetes is associated with more severe urological symptoms.
Specifically, men with Type 2 diabetes had greater urinary frequency and nocturia than their nondiabetic counterparts, a difference that the authors say warrants further study.
Kang Su Cho (Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea) and team analysed information on 278 elderly men newly diagnosed with LUTS over a 2-year period, of whom 139 had a pre-existing diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. Men with and without diabetes were matched for age and prostate volume using propensity scoring.
