dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The studies, investigated the relationship between smoking and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), are commonly clinically based. We aimed that whether smoking has any effect on BPH and/or lower urinary tract symptoms in a community based fashion. Materials and Methods: The forms of international prostate symptom score (I-PSS), quality of life (QoL) and asking smoking addiction were fulfilled by 255 men over 40 years old living in a small town of Manisa. Meanwhile prostatic volume and post-voiding residual urine volume calculations with ultrasound were evaluated. Results: While the degree of smoking (package/year) increased, I-PSS, QoL and residual urine volume slightly increased, but no correlation found with Pearson co-efficient. Although no statistically significant relation was observed, prevalence of BPH in this population was higher in smoking men than non smoking men. Conclusion: In this study, although no statistically correlation was found between smoking and BPH, it is observed that smoking is slightly effect the prevalence of BPH. It may be speculated that smoking has variable effects on sex steroids.
