Urination flow and symptom scores for surgery decisions
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors decide on surgery for urination problems in older men. You will answer a symptom questionnaire and have a simple urine flow test. The goal is to find which factors help doctors choose between medicine or surgery.
