Aims
The COVID‐19 pandemic is the most important public health problem in 2020. Millions of people have been infected or died because of the outbreak. We know the common symptoms of the disease such as fever and cough. However, all symptoms and features of COVID‐19 are still were not known. We aimed to evaluate the change in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after COVID‐19 in men.
Methods
We prospectively assessed 94 patients with COVID‐19 during hospitalisation. The patients were divided into two groups according to age, that being over and under age 50. IPSS scores of all patients were enrolled. Additionally, we compared the scores with pre‐COVID‐19 values.
Results
LUTS scores were found to be increased in elderly patients. Additionally, the severity of the disease did not correlate with LUTS scores.
Conclusion
LUTS may be one of the symptoms of COVID‐19 in some patients. Elderly patients with increased LUTS should be evaluated for COVID‐19 when the reason unclear.
