Objective To study the correlation between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Methods Intravenous radionuclide cystography (IVRC) was performed on 88 BPH patients and micturition cystourethrography on 30 to find if there was any VUR and the degree of reflux. Results 31 patients had VUR of which there were 6 grade Ⅰ,7 grade Ⅱ,6 grade Ⅲ,6 grade Ⅳ and 6 grade Ⅴ.9 were on the right,6 on the left and 16 bilateral. Conclusions VUR do occur in some BPH patients and IVRC is the better method for its diagnosis and evaluation.
