Abstract
Today the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men are the actual problem. LUTS is an extremely polyetiological problem, but benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is the most often reason for its development.
The problem of chronic prostatitis (CP) in patient of the older age with BPH is of great importance. These patients have the most pronounced symptoms of the lower urinary tract dysfunction. The therapy of patients with BPH and CP must lead to reducing of LUTS and improvement of quality of life, as well as to complications prevention associated with prostate enlargement and intravesical obstruction, such as acute urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infection.
The modern researches have presented that the combinations of herbal preparation with tamsulosin were more effective than monotherapy with α-adrenoblockers. That is why phytotherapy is considered an alternative option in the treatment of CP as first-line therapy and for the BPH initial stages in the complex treatment with other drugs. In contrast to “traditional” measures with one component, today multicomponent herbal preparations are popular.
A natural complex preparation which contains saw palmetto extract (S. Repens), 3.3’ diindolylmethane, pumpkin seed extract, resveratrol, lycopene for hormonal balance normalization for men with BPH was analyzed.
The advantage of the natural complex hormonal balance normalization for men with BPH is that it can be prescribed for the first LUTS signs that can prevent the symptoms progression and development of complications.
Urologist received the preparation for effective LUTS treatment in patients with BPH and CP, as well for removal of postoperative dysuria.
