Abstract

The objective: to establish the possibility of the effect of indole-3-carbinol on the inflammatory component in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia by assessing symptoms before and after treatment.

Materials and methods. The Institute of Sexology and Andrology LLC observed 142 male patients with BPH I degree, which were divided into three clinical groups. Group I included patients (n=39) who received a combination of I3C extract (Invitol) and Тamsulosin 0,4 mg/day; the second – patients (n=71) who received standard therapy, with the inclusion of Тamsulosin 0,4 mg/day; in III – (n=32) persons who did not receive treatment at all. The control group consisted of 30 healthy men. Invitol was prescribed in a dose of 1 capsule twice a day. After eating for 12 weeks, Тamsulosin at a dose of 0,4 mg/day once in the morning after eating for 12 weeks. The age of patients ranged from 50,2 to 62,5 years, on average – 56,2±3,2 years. The duration of the disease is from 3,5 to 7 years (on average 5,5±0,8 years). Before and during the treatment, all patients underwent traditional examinations.

Results. Based on the results of examinations in patients with BPH who received conservative therapy, it follows that: the concomitant inflammatory process in the tissues of the prostate gland requires the use of pathogenetic agents, which include natural catechin – indole-3-carbinol in combination with selective α-blocker; the combination of Invitol Invitol and tamsulosin prescribed to patients contributed to a significant decrease in leukocyturia levels by 5,1 times and bacteriuria by 7,1 times (p<0,001) than traditional tamsulosin monotherapy.

Conclusion. The combination of Invitol and tamsulosin creates the conditions for a faster recovery of IPSS and QoL in people with BPH than traditional tamsulisin monotherapy.
