Lower urinary tract symptoms-Benign prostatic hyperplasia may increase the risk of subsequent inguinal hernia in a Taiwanese population: A nationwide population-Based cohort study.

<h4>Introduction & objectives</h4>It has been suggested that lower urinary tract symptoms-benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS-BPH) may be a risk factor for inguinal hernia (IH). The aim of this study was to examine the emergence of a subsequent IH diagnosis in men with and without LUT...
