Effects of three types of alpha‐1 adrenoceptor blocker on lower urinary tract symptoms and sexual function in males with benign prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract

All three types of α1-blockers provided an objective and subjective improvement of LUTS in the present study population. However, erectile function only improved in patients treated with naftopidil and a higher rate of EjD was observed in those receiving silodosin. Because of their variable effects, we should consider the sexual dimension when prescribing α1-blockers for LUTS.
