By SK Plash, D Kaushal, R Joshi and 2 others.
Abstract
Introduction
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are frequent in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to autonomic neuropathy, microvascular injury, and bladder outlet obstruction. Understanding the correlation between diabetes severity and LUTS burden helps optimise management in elderly men.
