Abstract
BPH is one the common conditions found in an ageing man, presenting with LUTS. This study focused on comparison of IPSS score with prostrate size and uroflowmetry.

The average flow rates co-relates well with IPSS score and also co-relates weakly with post void residual urine. Based on this study, the severity of BPH has nothing to do
