    Hello again,

    I see you alreadyy answered a couple of my questions as to age and stimulant intake such as alcohol and caffeine. My advice remains the same. Get another opinion as it sounds like you're being treated for BPH/retention while your symptons don't suggest that given your PVR of 30ml, assuming that is correct.
