Abstract:
Sixteen prostatodynia cases entered the study on a trial of phenoxybenzamine (PBZ). We administered the PBZ with daily 10 mg dosage for 5 days (l st 5-day-course) to 16 cases, and then re-administered the PBZ (2nd 5-day-course) to the clinically recurred 5 cases. We obtained the following results. 1. After 1 st 5-day-course of PBZ, 7 cases of the 16 cases produced improvements on prostatic symptoms and urine flow rate, but recurrence was appeared in 5 cases of these 7 cases after 1-3 months of 1st 5-day-courSe of PBZ. 2. After 2nd 5-day-course of PBZ, 2 cases of these recurred 5 cases produced improvements on prostatic symptoms and urine flow rate. 3. 2 cases after 1st 5-day-course and 2 cases after 2nd 5-day-course produced improvements for about 1 year after 1 year after PBZ administration. Conclusively, 4 cases of the 16 cases (25%) produced improvements. >From the above data, we thought that PBZ trial to prostatodynia has a relatively considerable value.
