Ultrasonography (US) is an essential tool in the clinical management of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), including lower urinary tract symptoms, overactive bladder, and benign prostatic hyperplasia, in which prostatic volume and post-void residual volume are routinely used to evaluate the pathophysiological characteristics of afflicted patients.
US can also be employed to diagnose hydronephrosis and bladder calculus as complications of severe LUTD.
Moreover, US is essential for identifying pathophysiological characteristics and surgical indications, predicting disease development and drug efficacy, and monitoring bladder function improvement by means of such parameters as bladder wall thickness, prostatic urethral length, intravesical prostatic protrusion, and prostatic urethral angulation/angle.
Herein, I narratively review the recent advances in US approaches for the management of LUTD, especially in adult males.
