Hi. I would first like to know why your prostate is enlarged as per your doctor. Is it inflammation or prostatitis or BPH-Benign hyperplasia of prostate? If it is the first one then pain and burning can happen. You should get your urine culture and Semen culture done to rule out any infection which can be treated with culture specific antibiotics. If they are negative you should ask your Radiologist what is the size of your prostate in gms and how much is the post void residue. Also get a PSA done its a simple blood test. But only after ruling out infection otherwise the reading will be falsely high. Take care and let me know the results.
