Uroflowmetric assessment of acute effects of sildenafil on the voiding of men with erectile dysfunction and symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia

Purpose To evaluate the acute effects of sildenafil (50 mg) on the micturation of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) and concomitant benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) using uroflowmetric parameters. Materials and methods A total of 68 male patients randomize...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose To evaluate the acute effects of sildenafil (50 mg) on the micturation of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) and concomitant benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) using uroflowmetric parameters. Materials and methods A total of 68 male patients randomized into two groups (36 treatment, 32 control groups) with International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) greater than 7 and International Index of Erectile Dysfunction-erectile function domain score lower than 26 were enrolled in the study. Patients in the treatment group received a single dose of 50 mg of oral sildenafil. Patients in the control group received no treatment. Prevoiding urine volumes determined ultrasonographically and voided urine volumes were also recorded. Statistical comparisons were made with the use of analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results Mean ages were similar between treatment and control groups (60.4 ± 9.8 and 58.6 ± 8.3 years, respectively, P  = 0.430). In the treatment group the maximum and average flow rates increased significantly ( Q max from 15.6 ± 6.8 cc/s to 19.3 ± 7.2 cc/s, P
