[A trial of the use of finasteride and terazosin in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia].

94 patients with obstructive urination due to benign prostatic hyperplasia received finasteride (proscar), inhibitor of 5 alpha-reductase, in a single dose 5 mg and terazosine, alpha 1 adrenoblocker, in a daily dose of 9.7 mg/day. The follow-up averaged 16.1 months. As shown by overall score of the symptoms and quality of life, rectal and ultrasonic examinations, uroflowmetry, the prostate decreased by 17%, on the average in 72% of the patients. Subjectively, urination has also improved. Maximal flow rate elevated by 55% in the majority of patients. Combination of finasterine with terazosine is well tolerated and proved optimal as a conservative therapy in patients with obstructive urination as a result of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

[Benign neoplasms of the urethra in men].

A 20-year follow-up (1975-1994) in urological clinic of 107 males with benign tumors of the urethra (BTU) has determined that most commonly encountered BTU comprise viral papillomas (67.3%), polyps (22.4%), angiomas (10.3%). Viral papillomas and angiomas locate as a rule in the hanging urethra, while polyps arise both in the anterior and posterior portions. Urethral polyps and angiomas manifest most frequently with hemospermia, urethrorrhagia and terminal macrohematuria after coitus or exertion. Chronic nonspecific urethritis is thought to be a factor predisposing to urethral condylomas and polyps. Viral papillomas originate from the external orifice and Morgagni fossa spreading proximally. BTU are diagnosed primarily at urethroscopy and managed with transurethral resection, electrocoagulation, partial urethral resection which proved curative in many cases.
