Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a common complaint among aging men and are often caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A number of medical treatments for LUTS/BPH exist, such as alpha-blockers, 5alpha-reductase inhibitors, anticholinergics, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, and combination therapies. Agonist binding of the alpha(1A)-adrenergic receptor (AR), causing prostatic smooth muscle contraction, has been attributed to cause some LUTS. Therefore, medical therapy has aimed to block the alpha(1A)-AR and improve LUTS. Determining which therapy to choose must take into account individual patient factors as well as cost and patient choice.
下尿路症状(LUTS)是老年男性的常见主诉,通常由良性前列腺增生(BPH)引起。针对LUTS/BPH有多种医学治疗方法,如α受体阻滞剂、5α还原酶抑制剂、抗胆碱能药物、5型磷酸二酯酶(PDE5)抑制剂以及联合疗法。α(1A)-肾上腺素能受体(AR)的激动剂结合会导致前列腺平滑肌收缩,这被认为是引起一些LUTS的原因。因此,药物治疗旨在阻断α(1A)-AR并改善LUTS。确定选择哪种治疗方法必须考虑个体患者因素以及成本和患者的选择。
