lower urinary tract symptoms

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) refer to issues related to urination, affecting the bladder and urethra. These include frequent urination, a strong urge to urinate, waking up at night to urinate, a weak or interrupted stream, difficulty starting urination, or feeling that the bladder isn't fully empty. These symptoms can be caused by conditions like enlarged prostate, infections, or bladder problems. If persistent, they can impact daily life and require medical evaluation to identify the cause and find appropriate treatment.
