Article Synopsis
  • The review investigates the connection between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and a history of sexual abuse (SA), noting that the relationship is not well understood and requires systematic evaluation.
  • A literature search identified 18 relevant studies, highlighting that the prevalence of SA among patients with LUTS varied widely and was linked to mental health issues like stress, depression, and anxiety.
  • The findings underscore the importance of creating a supportive clinic environment for patients to discuss trauma, and emphasize the need for better standardization in assessing SA and LUTS.
