[Efficacy of combined treatment of large prostatic adenoma with doxasozine and finasteride]

Combined treatment with doxasozine and finasteride was performed for 7.26 months in 38 patients with large-size prostatic adenoma (89.54 +/- 11.64 cm3). The study group of 38 patients given the above combination benefited from the treatment (18 patients avoided surgery, TUR of shorter duration with removal of a less amount of tissue and less blood loss was conducted in 20 patients). Bladder draining with the urethral catheter was also shorter in the study group. The control group (28 patients with large prostatic adenoma) received surgical treatment alone. Long-term results were good in both the groups. Thus, combined treatment with doxasozine and finasteride can be the first-line treatment in patients with large prostatic adenoma.
