Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* Finasteride is a selective alpha blocker, improving the symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency caused by prostate enlargement.

* I recommend to continue the same as per the prescription of your doctor and be in regular follow up with him for sequential evaluation.
