Abstract
The author presents his point of view on the conservative management of benign prostatic hyperplasia and the role of combination therapy (co-administration of α-blockers and 5α-reductase inhibitors) in the treatment of voiding symptoms. The latest evidence for combination therapy of prostatic hyperplasia published in 2017 is also presented.
