Improvement of urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia

  • Urinary disorders
View approved original text

Urinary disorders due to benign prostatic hyperplasia refer to a condition where the prostate enlarges, leading to difficulty urinating or symptoms such as a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying and frequency of urination. Medications used for this condition improve urinary function and reduce uncomfortable symptoms. They primarily help by regulating the size of the prostate or relieving pressure in the urinary tract to assist urination. Therefore, it is used for the treatment of urinary disorders caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia.
