- Grade II: characterized by intermittent micturition disturbance and a maximal urinary flow of 10-15ml/sec
- Grade III: characterized by permanent micturition disturbance and a maximal urinary flow of less than 10ml/sec
- Grade IV: characterized by a bladder wall that starts to be thickened, and symptoms such as urinary retention and incontinence
Treatment of BPH
- Recommended therapy for Grade I BPH: watchful waiting
- Recommended therapy for Grade II BPH: medical therapy

- Important constituents: phytosterols, fatty acids, and flavonoids
- Inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase in the prostate, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone
- Pharmacotherapeutic group: plant-based medication
- May interact with warfarin and increase INR values
- Undesirable effect: gastrointestinal disturbances
