Background: Acute urinary retention (AUR) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is common. This study evaluated the efficacy of three alpha-blockers with urethral catheterization for 7 days in trial without catheter (TWOC).Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, active-control study conducted between November 2013 and May 2016. Patients aged more than 50 years, presenting with first-time painful AUR due to BPH were enrolled in this study. Eligible patients were randomized (1:1:1) to one of the three treatment groups to receive tamsulosin 0.4 mg, alfuzosin 10 mg or silodosin 8 mg for one week. The primary outcome measure was successful TWOC at 7 days.Results: A total of 118 patients were included in the study (tamsulosin, n=40; alfuzosin, n=38; and silodosin, n=40). The baseline parameters were comparable between the three groups. A total of 84 (71.2%) patients had successful TWOC at the end of 7 days (tamsulosin, n=30 (75%); alfuzosin, n=32 (84%); and silodosin, n=22 (55%)) and was significantly (p=0.015) different between three groups. Higher age, larger volume at retention and higher prostate volume were significantly (p<0.05) associated with the failure of TWOC.Conclusions: Results from this study demonstrate that there is a definite role of 7-day catheterization with alpha blockers in improving the rates of success of TWOC in men presenting with AUR due to BPH. The success of TWOC is multifactorial.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a disease that affects over 50% of males aged 50 years or older. In men aged >80 years, the incidence is 90%. BPH occurs in 9-25% of males aged 40 to 79 years. Fifty percent of patients with BPH are symptomatic. The symptoms include reduced urinary flow, nocturia, defective bladder emptying, urinary hesitancy, and dysuria. Disease progression can be associated with acute urinary retention (AUR). Prostatic obstruction includes mechanical and dynamic components, the latter mediated by alpha-muscarinic receptors. Treatment with alpha-1-blockers (alfuzosin, doxazosin, tamsulosin, and terazosin) leads to rapid amelioration of symptoms and urinary flow, usually within one or two weeks. The 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) are “disease-modifying drugs.” They control the growth of the prostate by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride is a 5–ARI that is selective for type 2 receptors. Dutasteride is a powerful inhibitor of both 5- alpha reductase isoforms (type 1 and 2) and produces more complete suppression of DHT synthesis than finasteride. Dutasteride also has a much longer half-life than finasteride (five weeks versus five to six hours). The authors review the results of clinical trials involving finasteride and dutasteride, with and without alpha-1-blockers, highlighting the important role of dutasteride in improving acute urinary retention and eliminating the need for surgical therapy.

Objectives: To dene the diagnostic accuracy of intravesical protrusion of prostate (IPP), bladder wall thickness (BWT) and prostate volume (PV) in diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and prediction of future acute urinary retention (AUR). A prospective Materials and methods: study of 127 patients, presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were enrolled with 50 patients among them manifesting AUR. 35 normal persons were selected as control group. After inclusion, all patients underwent transabdominal ultrasound and pressure ow urodynamic study (UDS). UDS parameter, BOO index (BOOI) were used as a reference standard for stratifying the patients into two groups, BOO and non-BOO. The sono-morphological parameters, IPP, BWT and PV were used to compare between these two groups with calculating the diagnostic accuracy for each individual index. IPP, BWT Results: and PV had statistically signicant difference between group 1 (BOOI < 40) and 2 ( BOOI > 40) with strong correlation with BOOI. The Pearson's correlation coefcient (r) for IPP, BWT and PV were 0.762, 0.702 and 0.660 respectively. The AUC for IPP, BWT and PV were 0.824, 0.786 and 0.650 with highest accuracy for IPP (79.2%) at cutoff value of 7 mm. Using the same threshold value, IPP had higher statistical difference than BWT in predicting AUR with similar diagnostic accuracy of IPP and BWT together. IPP and BWT in conjunction with PV in place Conclusions: of UDS had good clinical utility in diagnosis of BOO due to BPH and future AUR prediction.
