ID: ANH13114S107

MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: If you have moderate symptoms that bother you, your doctor may recommend medications such as alpha-blockers or those that treat erectile dysfunction called PDE5 inhibitors. Both of these medications relax muscle tissue in your bladder, urethra, and prostate. This can help improve your urine flow. 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may also be prescribed. This medication helps to improve urine flow over several months by reducing the size of your prostate. You may receive a combination of these drugs.
