Repeated intensification of lower urinary tract symptoms in the patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia during bisoprolol treatment.
A case of a 60-year-old male patient, suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with deterioration of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during antihypertensive treatment with bisoprolol was presented. Discontinuation of beta-blocker resulted in giving a relief whereas the resumption of its use caused repeated deterioration. Bisoprolol deteriorated lower urinary tract symptoms in patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Increase of lower urinary tract symptoms caused by beta-blockers can be more significant in elderly men.
