Hello
Thanks for follow up .
Your symptoms are of mild nature ,minimal post void residue of only 20 cc ,no sign of infection ,nocturia also once in a night hence you can manage it with the medicines I have suggested in my earlier reply .
Enlarged prostate is progressive disease and one has to re evaluate every year by doing Scanning ,PSA test etc and take a call for need for surgery as and when symptoms become severe enough to affect quality of life .
