AimsWe prospectively investigated the effect of dutasteride on clinical and urodynamic parameters in patients with benign prostatic enlargement (BPE).Materials and MethodsA prospective study was conducted in consecutive 52 patients with BPE who had not been satisfied with alpha-adrenergic antagonist monotherapy. Inclusion criteria were prostate volume (PV) 30ml and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) 8 or QOL index 3 under administration of an alpha-adrenergic antagonist without anticholinergic agent. Before and 24 weeks after dutasteride (0.5mg daily) add-on treatment with preceding alpha-adrenergic antagonist, we assessed IPSS, uroflowmetry (UFM), filling cystometry, and pressure-flow study (PFS).ResultsDutasteride add-on treatment significantly improved IPSS (from 18.47.5 to 13.8 +/- 7.3) and maximum flow rate (from 11.4 +/- 5.6 to 13.0 +/- 6.8ml/sec). Maximum cystometric capacity on filling cystometry did not change significantly by dutasteride add-on treatment (221 +/- 97 and 240 +/- 104ml before and after dutasteride add-on, respectively). All of the 41 patients with detrusor overactivity (DO) before dutasteride add-on treatment showed apparent reduction in the amplitude of involuntary detrusor contraction after dutasteride add-on treatment, including seven in whom DO disappeared. Dutasteride significantly reduced PV from 66.4 +/- 31.9 to 47.6 +/- 26.1ml. In PFS, detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate (PdetQmax) significantly decreased from 71.5 +/- 30.1 to 59.1 +/- 24.9cmH(2)O after dutasteride add-on treatment. Bladder outlet obstruction index (BOOI) also decreased significantly from 55.2 +/- 31.9 to 42.3 +/- 27.9, and obstruction grade assessed by the Schafer nomogram significantly improved.ConclusionsDutasteride can improve lower urinary tract symptoms by improving storage bladder function and relieving obstruction.
