[Current approaches to conservative treatment of men with concomitant benign prostatic hyperplasia and erectile dysfunction].

The article reviews the results of various conservative treatments for concomitant benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and erectile dysfunction (ED). Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors remain the first-line therapy for this category of patients taking into account their positive effect on both ED and BPH. The preferred treatment scheme includes PDE-5 inhibitor co-administered with 1-adrenoblocker. However, other combination treatments are considered promising, for example, a PDE-5 inhibitor with a 5-reductase inhibitor or a three-component treatment regimen: 1-adrenoblocker + 5-reductase inhibitor + PDE-5 inhibitor. All these approaches to treating patients with BPH and ED have demonstrated high efficiency and safety. Nevertheless, a limited number of randomized clinical trials and short-term observations suggest the need for further studies investigating the long-term outcomes of different treatment options for such patients.
