- Abstract
This document is an editorial for a special issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine on current and emerging therapies for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The editorial highlights the significance of LUTS caused by BPH as a global health concern, particularly among aging male populations. It discusses the evolution of therapeutic options for managing LUTS and BPH, ranging from conservative approaches to surgical treatments. The editorial also includes reviews of specific research articles that explore the connection between chronic inflammation and BPH, the utilization of phytotherapeutic agents for BPH treatment, and the safety and quality of life outcomes associated with concomitant surgeries for BPH and bladder tumors. The editorial emphasizes the importance of understanding the mechanisms of action and comparative effectiveness of current and emerging therapies for optimizing patient outcomes and addressing the growing burden of LUTS and BPH on healthcare systems worldwide.
