Journal Club - 👨‍⚕️ European Association of Urology Guidelines on Underactive Bladder in Men

This paper summarizes the European Association of Urology's (EAU) new guidelines on underactive bladder (UAB) in men. The guidelines, based on a systematic review of literature from 2002-2022, define UAB and its related urodynamic diagnosis, detrusor underactivity (DU). The document details diagnostic methods, including urodynamics as the gold standard, and outlines various treatment options, ranging from conservative approaches (behavioral modifications, intermittent catheterization) to pharmacological interventions (alpha-adrenergic blockers) and surgical procedures (benign prostatic surgery, sacral neuromodulation). The EAU guidelines emphasize the importance of individualized patient care and shared decision-making between clinicians and patients. Recommendations are provided with associated strength ratings.
