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

This expansion may pulverize the anode, resulting in poor performance. To fix this problem scientists looked into varying the dimensionality of the Si. Many studies have been developed in Si nanowires, Si tubes as well as Si sheets. As a result, composite hierarchical Si anodes have become the major technology for future applications in Lithium Ion Batteries. In the early 2020s technology is reaching commercial levels with factories being built for mass production of anodes in the United States. Furthermore, metallic Lithium is another possible candidate for the anode. It boasts a higher specific capacity than Silicon, however, does come with the drawback of working with the highly unstable metallic lithium. Similarly to graphite anodes, dendrite formation is another major limitation of metallic lithium, with the solid electrolyte interphase being a major design challenge. In the end, if stabilized, metallic lithium would be able to produce batteries that hold the most charge, while being the lightest. Mechanical Properties
A common failure mechanism of batteries is mechanical shock, which breaks either the electrode or the system’s container, leading to poor conductivity and electrolyte leakage. However, the relevance of mechanical properties of electrodes goes beyond the resistance to collisions due to its environment. During standard operation, the incorporation of ions into electrodes leads to a change in volume. This is well exemplified by Si electrodes in Lithium-ion batteries expanding around 300% during lithiation. Such change may lead to the deformations in the lattice and, therefore stresses in the material.
