Brief Answer: Prostate needs PSA and surgery Detailed Answer: Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal. Read your query. That is a very significant query. I will try my best to answer your query. However as from this query, I am not exactly clear about your exact question. From what I gather, your current problem seems to be urine problem due to the prostate enlargement. Now prostate enlargement is a significant and common problem in the elderly. And frankly, the best treatment option is surgical. Having said that, the problem is that even after surgery, the symptoms may recur at a later date. I hope you have had you Sr PSA tested. Thats the marker for prostate- prostate specific antigen. Also I hope you have had an ultrasound that tells us about the prostate size. I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above, and the exact query so i can be of help further. Best of luck. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you. Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further. (If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
