Medications
Medications
Medication is the first line of treatment and usually these are used in combination.
There are two classes of medications to treat this prostate condition:
Alpha-blockers
- “Urine channel openers” – relax the smooth muscle of the prostate gland and thus improve urinary symptoms.
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors
- “Prostate shrinkers” – block the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is felt to play a pivotal role in the prostate growth.
