Clinical research of Finasteride in treating hemospermia 30 cases / 中华内分泌外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of Finasteride in treating inflammatory hemospermia and approach the mechanism of action. Methods 56 cases of hemospermia were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group (n = 30) was treated with Finasteride combined with antibiotic for 1 month, while the control group(n=26) was treated only with antibiotics for 1 month. The expression of VEGF in sperma was de-tected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in pretherapy and post-treatment. Results Hemospermia disappeared in 28 cases of experiment group(28/30, 93.3%) and in 17 cases of control group(15/30,57.7%),with significant difference. The expression of VEGF degrade in post-treatment. Conclusions Hemospermia can be treated more effective with finastefide combined with antibiotics. The mechanisms may be associated with Finas-teride can reduce VEGF synthesis and inhibit the microvascular formation.
