Abstract

Purpose: We aimed to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of combining silodosin and solifenacin for overactive bladder (OAB) in females.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 586 females with OAB was conducted. Patients received either combination therapy (silodosin 8 mg + solifenacin 5 mg) or monotherapy (solifenacin 5 mg) for 12 weeks. Baseline and follow-up assessments included the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL), maximum flow rate (Qmax), voided volume (VV), and postvoid residual urine volume (PVR).

Results: Overall, 287 and 299 patients received combination therapy and monotherapy respectively. Both groups experienced significant improvements in OABSS and total IPSS after 12 weeks. The combination therapy group demonstrated a greater improvement in QoL compared to the monotherapy group (P=0.031). No significant differences were observed in Qmax or VV between the groups. However, the combination therapy group showed a significant reduction in PVR compared to the monotherapy group (P<0.001).

Conclusion: Combining silodosin with solifenacin significantly improved OAB symptoms and QoL in females. This combination therapy was particularly effective in reducing postvoid residual volume compared to solifenacin alone. These findings suggest that adding an alpha-blocker to antimuscarinic therapy can enhance OAB management and patient satisfaction.

期刊介绍： The International Neurourology Journal (Int Neurourol J, INJ) is a quarterly international journal that publishes high-quality research papers that provide the most significant and promising achievements in the fields of clinical neurourology and fundamental science. Specifically, fundamental science includes the most influential research papers from all fields of science and technology, revolutionizing what physicians and researchers practicing the art of neurourology worldwide know. Thus, we welcome valuable basic research articles to introduce cutting-edge translational research of fundamental sciences to clinical neurourology. In the editorials, urologists will present their perspectives on these articles. The original mission statement of the INJ was published on October 12, 1997. INJ provides authors a fast review of their work and makes a decision in an average of three to four weeks of receiving submissions. If accepted, articles are posted online in fully citable form. Supplementary issues will be published interim to quarterlies, as necessary, to fully allow berth to accept and publish relevant articles.
