Hello all,

2) go to urine it comes half way slow stream compare before normal pressure

3) when go for urine then urine start to come out from urethra after 10 second

4) little burning on glans after finish urine

Does anyone have idea for this symptoms as we think we are going to show it to urologist tomorrow it looks like prostate problem but i just want to know this type of symptoms need to go for operation or it will clear with medicine? Because sometimes doctor urge for operation so asked here..

He needs to see a urologist. This could be an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer. He may need a simple trans urethral resection (TURP). It is an easy procedure,

They have to determine what is causing it. It is usually from an enlarged prostate.

Yes it seems symptoms like enlarge prostate enlarge and it affects pee flow 50% compare to before so does it can be treated with medicine only or need surgery??

There are many less invasive treatments for BPH. Here are a few:

Hi Harsh. Just an advice - please do get a PSA test done as well. My father also had an enlarged prostrate, the urologist suggested an operation but a general physician suggested Flodart+. No one suggested a PSA test and once things became bad and we got a PSA test done we realised he has prostrate cancer as well which had spread to his bones.

If its just an enlarged prostrate it can be managed by medicines but a procedure might relieve the condition for good.

I'm equally as old as your father and had the same condition. I didn't act on time, hoping for it to go away on its own. But it didn't. When I finally went to see my Urologist it was a lil too late . I was dx with stage 4 PCa with bone mets (ribs and sc). To be on the safe side your father should see his urologist ASAP
