Etymology
The term “angina”, is derived from the Latin word “angere”, which means “choke”; and the Greek word “ankhone”, which means “strangle”. Placing it into context, Ludwigs angina refers to the feeling of strangling and choking, secondary to obstruction of the airway, which is the most serious potential complication of this condition.

Medications
With benign prostatic enlargement causes of LUTS, people may be offered a variety of medications (as a single drug or combining them) when there are persistent moderate symptoms:
Alpha blockers
5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors
Muscarinic receptor antagonists
Plants extracts (phytotherapy)
Beta-3 agonistIf 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 LUTS 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 resection of the prostate (TURP)
Transurethral microwave thermotherapy
Urethral dilatation, a common treatment for strictures. Epidemiology
Prevalence increases with age. The prevalence of nocturia in older men is about 78%. Older men have a higher incidence of LUTS than older women. Around one third of men will develop urinary tract (outflow) symptoms, of which the principal underlying cause is benign prostatic hyperplasia. Once symptoms arise, their progress is variable and unpredictable with about one third of patients improving, one third remaining stable and one third deteriorating. References
