Objective  To evaluate the effect of epristeride on gross hematuria secondary to transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).
Methods  A total of 50 patients with gross hematuria secondary to TURP were divided into two groups: 25 patients were treated with routine treatment plus 5 mg epristeride, twice a day for 3 months, while the other 25 only received routine treatment.
Results  At the 6-month follow-up visit, gross hematuria recurred in 63% of patients in the control group, but in only 30% of patients in the epristeride group. The difference was statistically significant (P lt;0.05). Moreover, the grade of gross hematuria was significantly lower in the epristeride group (P lt;0.05).
Conclusion   Epristeride appears to be effective in treating gross hematuria secondary to TURP.
