Overview
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men have a multifactorial etiology. In men, there is a tendency to attribute some of the LUTS corresponding to overactive bladder (OAB) to the symptoms of lower urinary tract associated with the obstruction in prostate hyperplasia. Data from urodynamic studies emphasize the relatively high prevalence of both groups of symptoms (voiding LUTS and OAB) in both male and female patients. Monotherapy of combined symptomatology LUTS and OAB cannot effectively influence the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia, unless both groups of symptoms are treated adequately. Combination therapy can achieve better results in the domain of quality of life in patients with LUTS and OAB than monotherapy.
Key words:
benign prostatic hyperplasia, overactive bladder, combined symptoms of LUTS, treatment combination therapy, alphalytics, anticholinergics, β3-agonists
