Structure of the talk
• Red flag symptoms & signs & aetiology of
LUTS
• Presenting symptoms & signs- DRE &
PSA
• Management of symptoms
• Summary
• Is the patient’s LUTS caused by cancer?
• If not what is the cause and can it be
treated?
Red Flag symptoms & signs
• Blood in Urine
• Predominant symptom- urgency
• Bothersome urinary symptoms not settling
with medication
• Constitutional symptoms- loss of wt, bone
pain
• Significant risk factors- smoker, worked
with chemicals, PMH, FH
• Abnormal DRE & PSA
Underlying causes

•
•
Prostate enlargement
Infections
Overactive bladder
Bladder/urethral tumour
Bladder Stones/foreign body
Abdominal operations/spinal
problems/rarely growth outside
bladder/prostate

• Low back pain
• Bone pain
• Haematuria
• Unexplained weight loss
• Tenesmus
• Rectal bleeding

•
•
Bone pain with LUTS
LUTS with constitutional symptoms
Non visible /visible haematuria???
No PSA within 4 weeks of UTI/ urological

NICE Recommendations on management of mild
or moderate LUTS
Bothersome to the patient, or complicated?
No
Active surveillance?
Give reassurance, offer advice on
