ABSTRACT
<p><b>AIM</b>To describe an unusual symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A patient presented to our urology clinic having experienced post-coital gross hematuria for 2 years. He had not experienced lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). A series of examinations were performed to determine the source of bleeding.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The prostate was defined as the active bleeding source responsible for the patient's post-coital hematuria. Endoscopic fulguration did not alleviate the symptom. The use of dutasteride, a dual inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase, solved the problem.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>This study reports for the first time that post-coital gross hematuria is one of the clinical presentations of BPH, which can be successfully treated with 5alpha-reductase inhibitor.</p>
