Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have Benign Enlargement of Prostate the size of the prostate being 49 gms.
Afdura and is a Dutasterides which reduces the size of the prostate and improves urine flow.But this can not be permanent solution to your problem .
Please discuss with your urologist about exploring the feasibility of of endoscopic surgery like TURP trans urethral Resection of a prostate where enlarged prostrate is resected and makes the urethral passage free of obstruction and improves symptoms like frequency ,poor stream etc.and offers permanent cure.
Soliten is a drug that improves urgency of urination that is one of the symptoms of enlarged prostate.
