[Micturition pattern in men 60-70 years of age. A study done on an urban population].
A total of 1,065 men aged 60-70 years replied to a questionnaire about their micturition patterns. At the time of the study, 81 men had already been treated operatively for prostatic hypertrophy and 29 men were submitted to operation at a later date. The remaining 955 men remained untreated until March 1987. Approximately 1/3 of the untreated men accepted the symptoms of pollakisuria, after-drip and weak flow. The men who had been treated previously showed the same frequency of symptoms as the untreated men but the frequency of symptoms was considerably increased in men requiring treatment. After-drip is not a specific symptom of prostatism.
