Abstract

Urodynamic studies including uroflowmetry, CO2 cystometry, electromyography, urethral pressure profilometry were performed on 15 cases of the chronic prostatitis in the Department of Urology, Kyung Hee University Hospital recently. The following results were obtained: 1. The uroflowmetry was performed in 15 cases. The average of the maximum flow rates was 16.57+/-4.68ml/ sec (M+/-SD). In only 4 cases the maximum flow rate was within normal range, but the other 11 cases revealed decreased rates than normal. 2. The CO2 cystometry was performed in 14 cases. In only one case the bladder capacity was 1,003ml, but the other findings were normal. The other 13 cases revealed normal findings. In 12 cases the external anal sphincter EMG was performed with cystometry simultaneously, there was no detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. 3. The urethral pressure profilometry was performed in 14 cases. The average of the functional profile length was 3.06+/-0.78cm (M+/-SD). The average of the maximum urethral pressure was 85.36+/-27.99cmH
