Male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are one of the most common causes for a consultation with a health care provider, and one of the most common causes of male LUTS is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In recent decades, medical therapy has established itself as viable and cost effective for the majority of men. For the treatment of male LUTS in the United States, the 5 currently available alpha-adrenergic receptor blockers are alfuzosin, doxazosin, silodosin, terazosin, and tamsulosin. alpha-Blockers remain one of the mainstays in the treatment of male LUTS and clinical BPH. They exhibit an early onset of efficacy (within less than 1 week) with regard to both symptoms and flow rate improvement, maintain such improvements in open-label and controlled trials for up to 5 years, and have been shown to prevent symptomatic progression.
男性下尿路症状(LUTS)是患者咨询医疗服务提供者的最常见原因之一,而良性前列腺增生(BPH)是男性LUTS的最常见原因之一。近几十年来,药物治疗已成为大多数男性可行且具有成本效益的治疗方法。在美国,目前可用的5种α-肾上腺素能受体阻滞剂用于治疗男性LUTS,分别是阿夫唑嗪、多沙唑嗪、西洛多辛、特拉唑嗪和坦索罗辛。α-阻滞剂仍然是治疗男性LUTS和临床BPH的主要药物之一。它们在症状和流速改善方面起效早(不到1周),在开放标签和对照试验中可将这些改善维持长达5年,并且已被证明可预防症状进展。
