COMPARISON OF EFFECTIVENESS OF TOLTERODINE, TADALAFIL IN TREATMENT OF DOUBLE J STENT RELATED LOWER URINARY SYMPTOMS

Devendra Dhakad, Abhishek Sharma

Abstract


Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Tolterodine, Tadalafil in relieving ureteral stent related symptoms.

Material and Methods: In this prospective 71 patients who underwent DJ stenting were randomized in 3 groups. They were given USSQ and were asked to come with completed USSQ at 1st week and 3rd week before removal of DJ stent. The statistical significant difference among groups was determined by paired T-test and one-way ANOVA test.

Results and Conclusion: Tadalafil is as effective as Tolterodine alone in relieving urinary symptom but more effective in relieving sexual symptoms.

Keywords
