Percentage of 206 men with BPH complained with voiding difficulties, grouped according to age
| Age | voiding disturbances | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| % Nocturia | % Hesitancy | % Dribbling | % Weak stream | % Incomplete voiding | |
| 45 | 27.3 | 4.3 | 29.4 | 9.1 | 15.2 |
| 50 | 34.6 | 4.7 | 30.7 | 17.6 | 19.7 |

| >90 | 91.6 | 47.6 | 34.6 | 82.8 | 41.6 |
Prevalence of hesitancy (p <0.001), dribbling (p <.001), incomplete voiding (p <0.001); Weak stream (p <0.001), and nocturia (p <0.001), increased with increasing age (Pitman’s permutation test)
