摘要
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common condition. It can cause problems with urine storage and voiding, and the severity of symptoms may be unrelated to the size of the prostate. When drug treatment is required, benign prostatic hyperplasia can be managed with monotherapy or combination therapy. Most patients are managed with selective alpha blockers. Patients with larger prostate volumes may benefit from a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, usually in combination with an alpha blocker.
