Suggest Non Invasive Treatment For Weaker Urine Stream
my age is 59 have prostate 48 gm; void 8 ml PSA is .37. I have initial hesitation (specially at public toilets) and have inbetween weaker urine stream.. and take longer to empty bladder; when full; it may take about 2-3 minutes withs low stream; have urge every hour and a half or so; but dont urinate frequently at night. I do take about 2.5 to 3 litres water or so thru the day. I was prescribed alfuzosin 10 mg once after dinner since last one and half year when prostate was 34 gms andPSA was .45. I am now being advised alfizin D (instead of alfuzin) which i am taking for last about 15 days. Pls advise since i do not want invasive surgery if at all needed. Is there any non invasive treatment ? I also suffer from E D.

Hello
Thanks for query .
You have obstructive voiding symptoms like frequency ,urgency , hesitaancy for urination and poor urinary stream due to enlarged prostate of the size of 48 gms
Your Dr has prescribed Alfuzin D once daily .
Alfizin D is a combination of two drugs
1) Dutasteride which helps to slow down the process of enlargement of prostate
2) Alfuzocin It is a alpha blocker which relaxes smooth muscles in prostate and bladder neck and there by help to improve urine flow .
You can continue taking these medications for years together till the time when these symptoms are aggravated and affect quality of your life .
