Abstract
AbstractNowadays, urination dysfunction caused by lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) has been a nonnegligible issue owing to its influences on patients’ physical and mental health, and in particular, the detection of the urination process and analysis of the urine samples of the patients have been the priority for diagnosis and treatment of LUTS. In this article, the existing perception of LUTS, such as the etiologies of LUTS and current approaches for LUTS evaluation in the clinic, is systematically summarized. Furthermore, several novels lower urinary tract (LUT) status‐sensing systems used for monitoring physiological indexes, including intravesical pressure, urine flow rate, residue urine volume, bladder volume, and biomarkers in urine, are introduced. It is believed that this presentation will make a contribution to deepening the comprehension of LUTS and promote the development of rapid, accurate, and convenient LUT testing techniques.
