Synopsis of publication:
The NHMRC guidelines To pee or not to pee - A guide for men about their urinary symptoms is derived from Clinical practice guidelines for the management of uncomplicated lower urinary tract symptoms in men , and is a continuation of a series of guidelines being developed.
The primary objective of these and similar guidelines is to achieve better health outcomes by helping general practitioners and health professionals to improve their practice, and by better informing consumers about treatment options.
As men get older, it is very common for them to notice changes in the way they urinate (pass water, or pee). Changes include waking frequently from sleep to urinate in the night, a feeling of urgency to urinate during the day and at night, occasionally having to wait before urine flow commences, a weak urinary stream, dribbling of urine after going to the toilet and a feeling of wanting to urinate again just after having done so.
