Bonus Episode: Dr. Mistry on the Pros and Cons of Drugs for BPH and Overactive Bladder
In this episode, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee discuss the pros and cons of common medications used to treat an enlarged prostate and overactive bladder. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate, or BPH, include slow flow, hesitancy, incomplete emptying, urgency, frequency, and incontinence. Alpha-blockers and hormonal drugs are the two main classes of medication used to treat BPH symptoms, but each has its pros and cons. Some unwanted side effects of these medications include lightheadedness, low libido, ED, retrograde ejaculation, and even infertility. While most male patients with urinary symptoms do have an enlarged prostate, 20% actually have an overactive bladder–a condition along the diagnostic pathway to BPH. These patients may benefit more from non-pharmaceutical treatments like lifestyle changes, natural supplementation, and pelvic floor physical therapy; however, anticholinergic and beta-agonist drugs can be effective as well. If you or someone you love has any of the urinary symptoms associated with BPH and overactive bladder, call NAU Urology Specialists for a consultation or second opinion today!
