The Urothelium, the urinary microbioma and men LUTS: a systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: The urothelium and the urinary microbiota are still poorly studied in men with LUTS. Most of the evidence and the hypothesis on the relationship between urothelium/urinary microbiota and LUTS comes from animal/in vitro evidence while clinical trials are lacking. These pathways seem interesting even in LUTS pathogenesis in men but their possible role as a new therapeutic target is still an open debate. PMID: 32550631 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
