oa Medical Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasa Where do we stand in 2004?
Abstract
The three factors responsible for the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are the prostate itself, the bladder and the central nervous sys-tem. The prostate is responsible for obstruction through its physi-cal mass (static component) and its smooth muscle contraction (dynamic component). The bladder and spinal cord are mainly responsible for irritative (storage) symptoms.
