AbstractObstructive sleep apnea syndrome affects 4-5% of middle-aged men. A high percentage of these patients suffer from additional urological diseases such as erectile dysfunction, nocturia, overactive bladder, and urgency incontinence. Awareness of these correlations is crucial for diagnosis and treatment of affected patients to avoid unnecessary medical treatment and even prevent fatal cardiovascular events, which can be associated with obstructive sleep apnea.
