"Even though it should be decided on patients cautiously under careful consideration about prostate volume, Prostate Specific Antigen(PSA) level, symptom score and maximum uroflow, recently the combination therapy of alpha-blocker and 5-alpha reductase inhibitor has been tried imprudently in Korea.\n\nAs a result of several clinical trials which had conducted overseas for releasing the combination drug of alpha-blocker and 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, the superiority of the combination therapy has been proved, however, plenty of patients still don't derive additional profit from it.\n\nTherefore, in this study, the investigators anticipate to meet with meaningful results on the clinical efficacy of alpha-blocker monotherapy and alpha-blocker + 5-alpha reductase inhibitor combination therapy in Korean benign prostate hyperplasia patients, and provide guidelines of the combination therapy."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'],
