Experience with alfuzosin in the treatment of women with symptoms of functional obstruction of the lower urinary tract

Aim. Obstructive urination is a common form of lower urinary tract urodynamic disorders in women. It can be caused by both organic (urethral stenosis) and functional causes. In the latter case, the causes of obstructive urination are most often various types of detrusor-sphincter dyssynergy, detrusor and urethral instability. The studies carried out in our clinic have shown that the disturbances of organ circulation and hypoxia leading to disturbed adaptive properties of detrusor play the leading role in the pathogenesis of urinary disorders of functionally obstructive character. Therefore, we used alpha-adrenoblocker alfuzosin to treat women with symptoms of functional obstruction of the lower urinary tract.
