John T. Wei, a Professor of Urology at the University of Michigan, joins Mary M. McDermott to dive into the challenges of lower urinary tract symptoms in men over 50. They highlight that about 40% of older men face issues like urinary urgency and frequency, significantly impacting their lives. The discussion covers diagnostic strategies, the effectiveness of pharmacologic treatments, and the importance of patient feedback. Wei also shares insights on behavioral interventions and minimally invasive surgical options for those with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
