Hello,
Firstly, the cause of enlarged prostate needs to be determined. I suggest you to get pelvic ultrasound and blood levels of PSA. The management can be determined after results of these investigations are received. In case of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), procedure - TURP can be done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
