What this trial studies

This observational study conducts a cross-sectional survey to assess the disease burden of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among the male population in China. It aims to determine the overall and age-specific prevalence rates of LUTS, while also exploring correlations with urbanization, geographical distribution, and lifestyle factors. The study employs a multi-stage sampling method across various regions and urban-rural settings to gather comprehensive data. Additionally, it examines treatment patterns for LUTS, including the proportion of patients receiving treatment and the types of interventions used.
