Abstract
Men often report increasing irritative and obstructive voiding symptoms with advancing age and believe this to be a normal process of aging. Whereas these urinary symptoms are common, they should not be viewed as normal. Fortunately, although the age-related processes that produce the changes in urinary symptoms may have significant impact on quality of life, there is little risk to the quantity of life. Many of these patients seek medical evaluation out of fear of prostate cancer. However, it is the patient bother caused by these symptoms that justifies the decision to pursue therapy. Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) can provide excellent relief in a select group of patients with a lower side-effect profile than transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
