Overview
There is trend in population aging and according to statistics there is estimate that in 2050 15% of population will be 65 years old and older. When men reach that age almost everyone will have histological signs of benign prostatic hyperplasia and approximately 50% of them lower urinary tract symptoms accompanying enlargement of the prostatic gland. In the last 18 years, thanks to new possibilities of medicamentous treatment, we face significant decline of BPH surgeries. We have today available not only effective monotherapies but also combination treatment of BPH. In the article are presented current therapeutic possibilities and results of combination treatment of BPH.
Key words:
