Brief Answer:
TURP would be preferable

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

There is a reasonable amount of residual urine and therefore TURP (trans urethral resection of prostate) would be the preferred treatment. At this stage I do not think that medical treatment would suffice. Medicines like tamsulosin, terazosin or finasteride can be used but I doubt whether they would be able to bring significant improvement.
