Urologist,  's  Response
hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted you have been diagnosed to have obstructive voiding symptoms due to Enlarged prostate of a size of 50 ml and have been prescribed Urimax .

The infection that you had is secondary to bladder outlet obstruction caused by enlarged prostate .

Urimax is alpha blocker and has action of relaxing smooth muscles in prostate and bladder neck and helps to improve urine flow .

Enlarged prostate is a progressive disease Taking Urimax will help to improve urine flow as long as you take it and has no action to reduce size of the prostate .

You can take it till the time it affects the quality of your life by increased frequency for urination ,nocturia,and getting repeated episodes of infection when you will need to get it resected by an procedure called Trans Urethral Resection of prostate (TURP)
