Prostatic Hyperplasia
Conditions
Brief summary
Primary: To assess improvement in ejaculation from baseline to the end of treatment (Week 12 or premature withdrawal) with Alfuzosin 10mg OD, using MSHQ score. Secondary: * To evaluate sexual function improvement * To evaluate LUTS (Lower Uninary Tract Symptoms) improvement * To evaluate the association between LUTS severity and sexual function. * To assess the safety and the tolerability of Alfuzosin 10mg OD.
