Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.

Yes, it will cause prostate shrinkage and lead to relief if symptoms. But this is not usual medication used for prostate hyperplasia. It is more commonly indicated in prostate tumor. Full price is 300-400 dollars, and I don't know how much will insurance cover in your area.

Wish you good health.
Regards
