Popis: Eighteen patients with inflammatory process of the prostate met criteria for the inclusion in the study: 1) non bacterial prostatitis; 2) no previous treatment. Then they were randomized into three groups as it follows: terazosine, tamsulosin and placebo. Alpha-blockers and placebo were given for two months, after which further uroflowmetry was performed. Symptom score was evaluated before and after treatment. Terazosine was effective in reducing TO (p = 0.01) as tamsulosin and placebo did not. Both terazosine (p = 0.034) and tamsulosin (p = 0.006) reduced max TQ as placebo did not. Symptom score significantly improved in patients receiving terazosine (p = 0.0002) and tamsulosin (p = 0.001) while insignificantly in whose receiving placebo.
