Background: BPH is characterised by the non-malignant overgrowth of prostatic tissue surrounding the urethra, ultimately constricting the urethral opening and giving rise to associated LUTS. Materials & Methods: 86 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia with with LUTS were clinically diagnosed by per rectal digital examination. All underwent transrectal ultrasonography. IPSS score evaluation was done in the first month, the second month, the fourth month, and in the sixth month. The QOL score was calculated and recorded Results: The mean basal QOL score was 4.6, mean prostate volume was 51.2ml, BMI was 26.2kg/m2, basal IPSS score was 19.4. The mean IPSS at 1 month was 5.8, at 2 months was 4.2, at 4 months was 3.5 and at 6 months was 2.7. The mean QOL at 1 month was 1.8, at 2 months was 1.4, at 4 months was 1.1 and at 6 months was 0.7. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).
