RÉSUMÉ
We evaluated the effect of hachimijiogan in 30 cases of anticholinergic agent and α-blocker resistant LUTS. International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS), QOL scores, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index (BII) scores and urinary 8-OHdG of the patients were statistically much improved. This study demonstrated improvement in urinary symptoms, urinary QOL and oxidative stress, in LUTS resistant to anticholinergic agents and α-blockers. Further long-term studies will be needed not only in urinary symptoms, but also in effect as an anti-aging medicine.
RÉSUMÉ
We evaluated the effects of Hachimijiougan and its additional prescription in 11 cases of anticholinergic agent-resistant overactive bladder. The improvements in IPSS, QOL score, BII score and urinary 8-OHdG for the patients were statistically much improved. This study showed improvements of urinary symptoms and QOL in anticholinergic agent-resistant overactive bladder. Further long-term studies will be needed not only in urinary symptoms but also on effects as an anti-aging medicine.
