Summary
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common problem for men over 50 that causes Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) and is usually treated with phytotherapy, medications and surgical procedures. The frequency of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), as a result of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), increases with age and affect approximately 50% of men over age 50. Behavioral treatments and lifestyle modifications appear beneficial in all patients despite differences in the underlying pathophysiology. These options are rarely applied in routine practice but they are cheap and easy, should be included in all treatment strategies. They include restriction of fluids a couple of hours before going to sleep, avoidance of caffeinated or alcoholic beverages in the evening, emptying the bladder before going to bed, leg elevation in case of edema of the lower extremities, moderate physical exercise and keeping warm in bed [2]
