Treatment will depend on the cause, if one is found. For example; with a UTI, a course of antibiotics would be given. Lifestyle changes Other treatments include lifestyle advice; for example, avoiding dehydration in recurrent cystitis. Men with prostatic hypertrophy are advised to sit down whilst urinating. A 2014 meta-analysis found that, for elderly males with<unk> , sitting to urinate meant there was a decrease in post-void residual volume (PVR, ml), increased maximum<unk>  flow (Qmax, ml/s), which is comparable with pharmacological intervention, and decreased the voiding time (VT, s). The improved urodynamic profile is related to a<unk>  risk of urologic complications, such as cystitis and bladder stones. Physical activity Physical activity has been recommended as a treatment for<unk><unk><unk> . A 2019 Cochrane review of six studies involving 652 men assessing the effects of physical activity alone, physical activity as a part of a self-management program, among others. The evidence from this review states that there are important uncertainties whether physical activity is helpful in men experiencing<unk><unk>  caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. Medications With benign prostatic enlargement causes of<unk> , people may be offered a variety of medications (as a single drug or combining them) when there are persistent moderate<unk> : * Alpha blockers * 5-alpha reductase inhibitors * Phosphodiesterase inhibitors * Muscarinic receptor antagonists * Plants extracts (phytotherapy) * Beta-3 agonist If medical treatment fails, or is not an option; a number of surgical techniques to destroy part or all of the prostate have been developed. Surgical treatment Surgical treatment of<unk>  can include: * Ablation procedures - used in treating both bladder tumours and bladder outlet obstruction, such as prostate conditions. * Bladder-neck incision (BNI) * Removal of the prostate - open, robotic, and endoscopic techniques are used. * Stenting of the prostate and urethra. * Transurethral removal of the prostate (TURP) * Transurethral microwave thermotherapy * Urethral dilatation, a common treatment for strictures.
