What is the best medical treatment for BPH?
Alpha blockers are recommended as first-line treatment for BPH, except for prazosin (Minipress) and phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline), which lack data to support their use and, therefore, are not recommended. The 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are only recommended in men with documented prostate enlargement.
Which is better HoLEP or Rezum?
Conversely, UroLift and Rezum are relatively new techniques with limited levels of evidence. Overall, HoLEP shows greater durable improvements in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life due to urinary function, and maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) than the two minimally-invasive approaches.
Which is better UroLift or TURP?
Both Urolift and TURP lead to significant improvement in urinary function. In general, the urinary function is improved to a significantly high degree after the TURP procedure than after Urolift. The urine stream is improved by more than 100% after TURP while it improves only by about 30% after Urolift.
Who is not a candidate for UroLift procedure?
The UroLift System should not be used if you have: Prostate volume of >100 cc. A urinary tract infection. Urethra conditions that may prevent insertion of delivery system into bladder.

What is better Rezum or TURP?
Rezum has many advantages over medical treatment or TURP, including lower rates of sexual dysfunction or bleeding. Rezum water vapor thermal therapy is approved for treating LUTS in patients with BPH, particularly in prostates less than 80cc. It has the advantage of preserving sexual function, compared to TURP.
What is the best medication for BPH?
BPH medication can ease enlarged prostate symptoms, but vary in how quickly they take to work. Current options include: Alpha blockers, such as tamsulosin (Flomax), relax bladder neck muscles and muscle fibers in the prostate, resulting in increased urinary flow and decreased need to urinate.
What drugs are used to treat benign paroxysmal prostate problems?
Drugs approved for the treatment of BPH symptoms are: darifenacin hydrobromide (darifenacin), fesoterodine fumarate (fesoterodine), oxybutynin hydrochloride (oxybutynin), propiverine hydrochloride (propiverine), solifenacin succinate (solifenacin), tolterodine tartrate (tolterodine), and trospium chloride.
What are the minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?
First- and second-generation temporary implantable nitinol devices as minimally invasive treatments for BPH-related LUTS: systematic review of the literature. Curr Urol Rep. 2019;20[PubMed] [Google Scholar] E54.
What is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?
Strictly speaking, the definition of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) relates to a purely histological increase in volume of the prostate; only when there is an increase in bladder outlet resistance that affect urodynamics is the term “benign prostatic obstruction” (BPO) used, often also called “bladder outlet obstruction” (BOO) (1).
