Objective: Prostatic resistive index PRI on power Doppler ultrasonography has been previously shown to be risen in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH . In the present study, we have evaluated PRI values of BPH patients who would be treated either surgically or medically. Materials and Methods: A total of 91 BPH patients included in our study. The patients divided into 3 groups: Group 1: Fourty five medical therapy candidates, Group 2: Twenty eight patients who had severe lower urinary tract symptoms, Group 3: Eighteen catheterized patients due to acute urinary retention. Fourty five patients in group 1 were planned to be given doxazocine 4mg daily and 46 patients in group 2 and 3 28+18=46 were considered candidates for surgery. Three groups were compared regarding clinical, laboratory data and PRI levels. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed between group 1 and both group 2 and group 3 while no difference existed between group 2 and 3.Conclusion: Our results showed that BPH patients candidate for surgery had higher PRI than medical therapy candidates
