Brief Answer:
You have Enlarged Prostate

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts and the medicines that you are taking it appears that you have Benign Enlargement of Prostate .

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis with specific mention of Post Void Residual Urine
3) Serum PSA.

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis. Discuss with Urologist to explore need for removal of prostate by an endoscopic surgery of TURP or to modify medical line of treatment that you are taking .

Thanks for follow up .

Normally when we drink liquid urine is formed within 45 minutes or even earlier when drink aerated drinks .

But considering your age the possibility of having enlarged prostate has to be ruled out by doing investigations suggested in my earlier reply .

Thanks and Regards.
