Abstract

To evaluate the improvement of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in males treated with terazosin based on sub scoring ratio of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Material & Method: Sixty eight male with LUTS subjected to terazosin 1 mg daily and divided into two groups based on IPSS sub scoring ratio. After 3 months improvement of the symptoms were evaluated using the IPSS. Data analysis was done using paired T-test. The conclusion was based on significance level p < 0,05. Results: The IPSS score was improving on both failure to void group (IPSS- v/s >1) and failure to store group (IPSS- v/s ≤ ) after 3 months of Terazosin therapy (mean = 9,56 versus 6,94). Statistically superior improvement was observed on failure to voiding group (p = 0,0003) (95CI : 1,30-3,93). Conclusion: Terazosin is best given to male LUTS with IPSS- v/s > 1 although both groups respond well.
