I would like you to tell you that your problem is mild prostate enlargement. The urine remaining in the bladder being 45 cc is not too much. In practice, urine residue should cause patient discomfort in terms of increased urine urge to be called significant.
Prostreat (tamsulosin) is a good medicine to control prostate enlargement. You can take this for two months without any significant side effects.

Hi, Thanks for writing in to us. I would like you to tell you that your problem is mild prostate enlargement. The urine remaining in the bladder being 45 cc is not too much. In practice, urine residue should cause patient discomfort in terms of increased urine urge to be called significant. Prostreat (tamsulosin) is a good medicine to control prostate enlargement. You can take this for two months without any significant side effects. I would recommend you to get prostate specific antigen level in blood (PSA test). ZHope this helps.
