Prevention of LUTS: Bladder Health Clinical Center, UC San Diego Site
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) affect millions of women and girls, have a major negative impact on quality of life, and are a source of economic burden. The majority of individuals with LUTS do not seek care; thus, to decrease suffering and health care costs, a shift towards the study of bladder health (BH) is urgently needed. Our approach will assess risk and protective factors related to BH using qualitative and quantitative methods and determine if the urogenital microbiome is a viable target for future prevention studies.
