i5ARs are recommended for men with LUTS, enlarged

prostate, and/or high PSA levels. Results begin to be

felt after a few months (4 to 6 months), but can pre-

vent disease progression by reducing the need for sur-

gery and acute urinary retention. (

A

)

i5AR therapy combined with alpha-blockers is recom-

mended for men with moderate to severe LUTS, en-

larged prostate and/or high PSA levels, and reduced

maximum urinary flow. (

A

)

i5ARs therapy combined with alpha-blockers is not rec-

ommended for treatment lasting less than one year. (

A

)

Muscarinic receptor antagonists and beta-3 agonists

should be considered with caution in men with LUTS

who have predominantly bladder storage symptoms. (

A

)

Anticholinergic therapy, used alone or in combination

with alpha-1 blocker, increases the risk of acute uri-

nary retention in patients with BPH. (

A

)

iPDE5s are recommended for the treatment of BPH-

-LUTS. This therapeutic class may be an option in the

treatment of patients with erectile dysfunction and

BPH-LUTS. (

A

)

Addition of iPDE5s to alpha-blockers may improve

BPH-LUTS. (

A

)

Tadalafil plus finasteride is associated with an im-

provement in erectile function compared to finaste-

ride alone. (

A

)

Patients should be advised of the possible side effects

of BPH drug therapy. (

D

)

Due to the lack of scientific evidence, there is no rec-

ommendation for the use of herbal medicines in the

treatment of BPH-LUTS. (
