Don’t let LUTS hold you back. Approach Dr. Aarthy as soon as possible to end your discomfort.

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

Causes & Symptoms

LUTS is curable and manageable if you identify your symptoms and consult your doctor for early treatment. Understanding the causative factors is also vital.
The Causes
  • Bladder Dysfunction, such as an overactive or weak bladder.
  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or prostate enlargement in men can block the urine flow and cause LUTS.
  • Presence of bladder stones can cause blockage, discomfort and irritation during urination.
  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) can irritate the lining, leading to pain and bladder-voiding urgencies.
  • Neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease or Multiple Sclerosis can impact bladder function, leading to LUTS.
The Symptoms
  • A constant urge to void the bladder at day and night.
  • Nocturia or voiding of the bladder multiple times at night.
  • Dysuria or painful urination accompanied by discomfort and a burning sensation.
  • An unexpected and intense need to void the bladder, which is often difficult to control.
  • Incomplete and unsatisfactory voiding of the bladder.
