Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
You should mention your age,and if you're on any other medication.
You should've undergone the following tests :
1. urine routine and culture, with flow rate.
2. blood routine, creatinine, RBS,platelets, LFT,and PSA.
3. ultrasound-KUB,with residual urine and TRUS(trans-rectal scan).
According to these reports,treatment is advised. Diverticulum isn't an issue.
Prostagard isn't found effective in most people.
You may send the reports, as a direct question,for my expert opinion.
