Hii, I am a 53 Y/O , sufferinh from BPH since 10 years . Recently the prblem increased , so got Sonography done . The report says prostrate significantly enlarged ( 60gms) . Reports were shown to a urologist , he has prescribed Sildura 8mg once a day . I have tried these medicines in the past , they affect my erection. Due to this i have never taken these medicines as such . Do you advise surgery at this stage or any other alternative medicine which can not cause erectile dysfunction .
Hi, A prostate enlarged to 60 grams is classified as grade 3 enlargement. This should be treated with surgery as it is higher degree of enlargement and can cause abrupt bladder outlet obstruction leading to retention of urine. This is an emergency situation, and then you may have to be rushed to hospital to avoid kidney damage. Taking of medicine is recommended till such time that you get operated. Considering your erection problem, it will be wise to go for a planned minimally invasive surgery in the next few days. After surgery, you will lead a normal life and there is no worry.
