A control-case study conducted in 56 patients, all diagnosed with benign prostate hypertrophy of which 36 were Prazosin-treated patients and the remaining 20 were controls. The patient's mictional signs and symptoms as well as flow parameters were monitored at 3 and 6 months, respectively. We conclude that Prazosin is an alpha-blocker useful in early prostate disorders and when no obstructive urological disease is present.

Spanish renaissance urology is a heirloom from both islamic and scholastic medieval trends. Theory and practice of urology generates three types of professionals: doctors, who study at universities and obtain their licence by making a demonstration before the Protomedicato Tribunal; surgeons, who acquire their surgical techniques through a teacher-pupil training relationship outside universities; and empirics, who were in charge of performing surgical operations. Urology literature exhibits greater interest during the second half of the century. Most outstanding are the works of Francisco Díaz. The pathologies arising greater interest are lithiasis and carnosities. Lithiasis is handled by lithotomists through a carving process of which there were two modalities, castilian and italian. Carnosities, which differential diagnosis, as well as that of lithiasis, was outlined by Andrés Laguna, are treated using a dilating bougie or, surgically, with a sharp instrument analogous to the urethrotome devised by Francisco Díaz.
