Abstract:

The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the clinical efficacy and safety of the α1-adrenergic blockers tamsulosin and silodosin in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study included 40 patients over 60 years of age. Urodynamic parameters, the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), IPSS score, the frequency of adverse effects, and the impact of the drugs on blood pressure were assessed.
