title: [Integrated therapy of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for BPH with diabetes mellitus: clinical observation of 52 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of the integrated therapy of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of BPH complicated by diabetes mellitus.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty-two cases of BPH complicated by diabetes mellitus were equally randomized to a treatment group and a control group, and both underwent transurethral plasmakentic vaporization when fasting glucose was kept at 6.0 - 8.0 mmol/L, followed by anti-infection, rehydration and semeiologically supportive therapies. And both of the two groups received Chinese medicinal herbal treatment before and after surgery.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Neither of the two groups showed postoperative electrolyte disturbance, ketone acidosis, or hypoglycemia. The incidences of postoperative constipation, bladder convulsion and urinary tract infection were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The integrated therapy of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for BPH with diabetes mellitus can not only smoothly tide the patients over the perioperative period, but also improve their quality of life by reducing postoperative constipation, bladder convulsion and urinary tract infection.
