![]() The vast majority of subjects reported the presence of LUTS (91.4%, n = 458), while only 43 subjects out of 501 (8.6%) reported no LUTS ( Table 1). Fifty-one subjects (10.2%) were being treated with anticholinergic medication and 14 (2.8%) with an alpha blocker. Seventy-seven participants (15.3%) had a relapsing-remitting disease course, 317 (63.3%) a secondary progressive course and 107 (21.3%) had primary progressive MS. The literature suggests that younger people empty their bladder. The mean age of the sample was 56.0 ± 12.3 years and mean MS duration was 21.4 ± 10.8 years. Post void residual (PVR) of 50 to 100 mL is generally accepted as normal in the elderly.

Evaluation by a clinician may include tests, such as uroflowmetry, post-void residual and pressure flow studies. Voiding dysfunction is also classified as being caused by either underactivity of the bladder (detrusor) or outflow (urethra).
