DOI: 10.30699/acadpub.jru.4.1.24 Background and Objective: Despite a long history of drug treatment for BPH, the side effects and costs associated with current drugs have led to efforts for finding drugs with the same effectiveness and fewer side effects. Also, in recent years, the tendency to use herbal drugs in BPH treatment has increased significantly. Alphablockers are currently the most commonly used chemical drugs in the treatment of BPH, the most common of which is Tamsulosin. Although few studies have compared the role of Tamsulosin and pumpkin seeds oil in BPH patients, this study has never been done in Iran.
