Abstract

This literature review summarizes recent evidence on monotherapy and combined treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Particular attention is given to the latest publications on this topic presented at the 30th Congress of the European Association of Urology. α-blockers, 5α-reductase inhibitors, anticholinergics and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors are the main classes of medications for monotherapy. Combination therapy of the above medications is the most promising part of this trend in urology allowing increase the effectiveness of treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. A personalized approach to therapy involves a thorough examination of the patient and the administration of treatment according to his individual needs.
