HelloThanks for query. Your father has been diagnosed to have obstructive urinary symptoms due to Enlarged prostate. The modality of treatment in enlarged prostate depends upon following factors.1) Size of the prostate gland and the volume of post void urine residue detected on Ultrasound Scanning .2) Severity of symptoms and impact of these symptoms on quality of his life.3) Getting repeated episodes of UTI due to enlarged prostate Continue taking medications like Tamsulosin and Finasteride.However, if there is no satisfactory improvement in his symptoms It is better to get endoscopic resection of enlarged prostate (TURN)done. This will give him permanent relief from symptoms. Chat Doctor.
