Summary
This study will observe 100 men aged 40 and older who have lower urinary tract symptoms (like frequent or weak urination). Researchers will ask them if they would consider surgery if their symptoms don't improve. They will also measure symptom severity and urine flow. The goal is to find out which factors most strongly predict a desire for surgery, helping doctors and patients make better treatment decisions.
