Abstract

Although alpha-blockers, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and prostatectomy are clearly efficacious treatment options for men with LUTS/BPH, these therapies are less than perfect. This has led to the investigation of new treatment options for men with LUTS/BPH. Three of these new treatment options include anticholinergics, phosphodiesterase-5-inhibitors (PDE5I), and botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A). Of these, anticholinergics and PDE5I have demonstrated a clear efficacy in appropriately selected patients. On the other hand, despite initial promising data, recent studies have not supported a clear efficacy with intraprostatic BoNT-A. The literature on anticholinergics, PDE5I, and BoNT-A is reviewed. Areas for future research within the field are then presented along with guidelines for prescribing these therapies.
