Clinical evaluation of Cernilton on benign prostatic hyperplasia
Ueda K, Jinno H, Tsujimura S
Twenty-two patients whose average age was 67 years and who had benign
prostatic hyperplasia of stage I and II were treated with Cernilton for more
than 4 weeks. Subjective symptoms were excellently improved and the improvement
rate was over 85% in all of the evaluated symptoms of dysuria. In the overall
evaluation, 18 out of 22 patients were rated as moderately improved or better, 2
were slightly improved and 2 remained unaltered. Aggravation of the symptoms was
found in none of the patients. Objective findings such as residual urine volume
and urinary flow rate were improved in 3 patients, although the shrinkage of the
prostate was not observed on rectal palpation, retrograde urethro cystography or
transrectal ultrasonography. No adverse reaction was observed during Cernilton
therapy. In conclusion, it is suggested that Cernilton may be effective and safe
for the conservative treatment of patients with early stage prostatic
hyperplasia of non-surgical indication.
