Abstract

The lower urinary tract consists of interrelated structures including the bladder, urethra, smooth, and striated sphincters, pelvic floor muscles, and the prostate gland in men with a common function of providing effective urinary storage and voluntary urinary expulsion. These functions are achieved in two discrete phases of micturition [1].
