Urine retention is so far manageable pain-wise (a "5"). Could enlarged prostate subside or remain same size, so that I can get to urology acute care clinic in six hours?
Brief Answer:
Enlarged prostate will not subside .
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .
The enlargement of prostate is a very long process and is very common above the age of 60 years .The retention that one gets is due to obstruction to urine flow due to enlarged prostate gland .
Retention of urine signifies that one needs to remove the prostate to make thee passage clear off obstruction .Urologist will explain you regarding the modalities of treatment depending upon the size of the gland and degree of obstruction etc .
Thanks and Regards.
