膀胱下定愁訴に対するFlavoxate hydrochloride錠の効果

Abstract

In the absence of overt organic urologic discase, it is not uncommon to see the patients with irritative bladder symptoms. Many people develop acute vesical irritability under stress. Such physiologic responses may be manifest in functional symptomatology and in some cases may eventually lead to organic pathology. Most of these problems which encountered in the urologist's office are truly psychosomatic in Some instance. On the other hand, constipation, enteroptosis and pregnancy can cause urinary frequency. Therefore an understanding of the basic problems and how best to handle them is of utmost importance to the urologist. A multifactorial approach to the patient management is advocated in some of these cases. Flavoxate was found to be useful for symptomatic relief in 70% of our 30 cases of psychosomatic cystitis or prostatitis syndrome.
