Abstract
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are the urological manifestation that increases with age and affects the quality of life in 60 percent of the population. Bladder storage and voiding are due to a specialized physiological process. Urodynamic evaluation includes recording of vesical and abdominal pressures while filling, and also uroflow during the voiding phase.
