can someone advise me ...I had testing through my urologist and he said my prostate was enlarged size of quarter of orange I had uroflow testing and ultrasound which showed that my urine is not freely flowing too much urine still sitting in my bladder. I feelbloating feeling most of time. Get up during the night to release urine but tend to only release partial amounts ....

i am not sure about the surgery......I asked abou medications and he said in my case he didn't think they would work due to size of enlargement ....

    Darryl     its me again.  Please do not do the surgery.  Don't let the urologist talk you into it. They like to push it  Do the meds first and see if they will work.  Please.....Ken

      I would at least suggest a second opinion for Darryl.   Medications apparently work for some.  For me, I tried Flomax and my blood pressure dropped rapidly to a dangerous level (65/35 when the EMTs arrived.)

      Doing nothing is not a good option either.  Ending up with failed kidneys and bladder is to be avoidedconfused

      Im not saying do nothing.  Try the meds first.  If they work that good.  Then you don't need the surgery.  If not then look up other procedure.  The have be some good out of it but thee are the horror storys that you have to have it again and again.  Once is enough.  Al look at the side effect.  Some men ae ok with retro but others don't like it And they just give up on sex because it's not the same...Ken .
