The data were extracted by using designed extraction form. Data were processed by Stata 11.0.RESULTS: Five studies involving 361 men met the inclusion criteria, which were included in the Meta analysis. The baseline of patients' characteristics was comparable in all the studies.CONCLUSION: By comparing the five common criteria, it was found that Pule'an was effective for improving IPSS, Q_max and QOL. More high quality trials with large samples and longer follow-up will be better for understanding the effects of Pule'an in BPH.
