Abstract Purpose:To confirm lower urinary tractobst ruction and its position. Methods:The micturitional urethral prossure profilometry (MUPP) were measured in 42 patients with lower urinary tract symptom. Of which 30 cases were benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH),3 uret hral stricture,3 detrusor-external sphincter dyssynergia,4 the female stress incontinence,1 the female urethral meatal stenosis and 1 prostatitis. Results:26 cases had obstruction in 29 patients with BPH. The external sphincter pressure decreased in 3 detrusor-external sphincter dyssynergia.
