Brief Answer:
Not absolute necessity...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

PSA value is within normal limits. And scan revealed mild BPH with borderline significant post void residue (post void urinary bladder volume of 50 cc). It can be managed conservatively. In my opinion surgery is not absolutely necessary.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
