My father has grade 1 prostate enlargement at 56cc and is currently on medications like martifur, tamsulosin hydrochloride, solicept, and b complex. He's very weak and using a catheter to pass urine, so surgery isn't an option for him right now. Can grade 1 prostate be cured with just medications, or is surgery the only way? His health is fragile, and we're really hoping medicine alone can help. What would you suggest?
Grade‚ÄØ1 prostate enlargement in frail patients may be managed with alpha-blockers and 5‚Äëalpha-reductase inhibitors.Long‚Äëterm catheter vs surgery depends on symptoms and health.
