Abstrakt: The article presents the results of treatment of 155 patients with BPH aged 48-65 years, who received conservative treatment for this disease. The patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 consisted of patients with BPH and erectile dysfunction (ED), who underwent conservative treatment (5alpha-reductase inhibitors in combination with alpha1-adrenoblocker) and phosphodiesterase inhibitor (tadalafil 20 mg) on demand. Group 2 consisted of patients with prostatic adenoma and ED, who received only conservative therapy. Group 3 consisted of BPH patients without ED, who received only conservative therapy. The effectiveness of treatment was assessed using patient self-assessment questionnaire. I-PSS score was used for the assessment of symptoms of the disease, for assessment of sexual function--AMS questionnaire for the age-related symptoms in men (specific section), short BSFI questionnaire, and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5). Questionnaire survey was performed before treatment and 3, 6 and 9 months after therapy. Analysis of the results showed that there were significant impairments of sexual function in BPH. The use of phosphodiesterase inhibitor against the background of conservative therapy improves erectile function, and reduces the intensity of urination disorders.
