It has been widely accepted that alpha 1-adrenergic blockers (ABs) are useful in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Previously published reports have advocated continued use of ABs for their effect to be maintained. Several reports suggested that complete cessation of ABs led to relapse of symptoms within 3 months. On the other hand, a few reports have shown that approximately half of patients could keep good condition at 6 months after discontinuation of ABs. Short-term discontinuation of AB medication is possible for the select patients with symptomatic improvement. ABs are now often used as a first line medical treatment for men affected by LUTS/BPH, however it is not elucidated how long medication should be continued.
No data have previously been published regarding the long-term effect of discontinuing ABs in LUTS patients who responded well to medication. The study objective was to show long-term effects of discontinuation of the ABs on LUTS in men with BPH treated effectively with ABs.
