Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Irritative voiding symptoms are to the urinary tract much as a cough is to the pulmonary system, that is, a nonspecific manifestation of multiple potential underlying causes. Key to the evaluation and management of patients with these symptoms is a clear understanding of the differential diagnosis, the diagnostic tests required for evaluation, and the role of specialists in diagnosis and treatment. This article outlines a general diagnostic approach for patients with irritative voiding symptoms. Treatment approaches for the diseases, as well as the initial management that may be performed in the primary care setting, are also discussed.
