Hello,

Usually alpha blockers as veltam would only response in terms of prostate enlargement as recurrence in case of operation of prostate gland. But as per my surgical experience, frequency and urgency of urination after prostate surgery is many times related to stricture urethra in terms of narrowing at prostatic fossa after surgery. Kindly discuss the need of diagnostic ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis with or without cystoscopy with your urosurgeon for best possible management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
