abstract = "A reliable diagnostic tool used to measure the severity of symptoms of lower urinary tract disorders is the International Prostate Symptom Score questionnaire (IPSS), developed by the American Urological Association in 1992. The IPSS is available online in 53 different language variants. Twenty-seven language versions of the questionnaire have been validated in 22 published studies. The aim of the work is to examine the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms in men in the Republic of Serbia. The research was conducted between May and June 2022, on a sample of 207 males. The respondents were a randomly selected group over the age of 18. After the obtained results, data processing was started in the SPSS program. Most of the respondents were over 56 years old (32.4%), and according to their level of education, most of the respondents had a university education (40.1%) and high school (36.7%). To the question "How often in the last month did they get up at night to urinate?", the largest percentage of respondents answered that they never got up (26.6%). Other answers were from 1 to 5 and more, respectively 18.8%; 17.4%; 16.4%; 12.6%; 8.2%. Half of the respondents (51.2%) had intermittent urination in the last month, and 49.3% of the respondents could not delay urination in the last month. The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms is high in the studied population. It is necessary to increase the awareness of the general population about the importance of lower urinary tract symptoms., Pouzdan dijagnostički alat koji se koristi za merenje težine simptoma poremećaja donjeg urinarnog trakta je upitnik Internacionalni prostatični simptom skor (IPSS). Razvijen je od strane Američke urološke asocijacije 1992. godine. IPSS je dostupan na internetu u 53 različite jezičke varijante. Dvadeset sedam jezičkih varijanti upitnika je validirano u 22 objavljene studije. Cilj rada bio je ispitati prevalencu simptoma donjeg urinarnog trakta kod muškaraca u Republici Srbiji. Istraživanje je sprovedeno tokom maja i juna, na uzorku od 207 muškaraca. Ispitanici su bili nasumično odabrana grupa muškaraca starosti preko 18 godina. Nakon dobijenih rezultata pristupilo se obradi podataka u programu SPSS. Najviše je bilo ispitanika starijih od 56 godina (32,4%), a prema nivou obrazovanja, najviše je bilo ispitanika sa fakultetskim (40,1%) i srednjim obrazovanjem (36,7%). Na pitanje „Koliko su često u poslednjih mesec dana ustajali noću radi mokrenja?“ najveći procenat ispitanika odgovorio negativno (26,6%). Ostali odgovori bili su od jedanput do pet i više, redom 18,8%; 17,4%; 16,4%; 12,6%; 8,2%. Kod polovine ispitanika (51,2%) bilo je prisutno isprekidano mokrenje poslednjih mesec dana, a 49,3% ispitanika u poslednjih mesec dana nije moglo da odloži mokrenje. Prevalenca simptoma donjih urinarnih puteva je visoka u ispitanoj populaciji. Potrebno je povećati i svest opšte populacije o značaju simptoma donjih urinarnih puteva.",
