Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have enlarged prostate with significant post void residue .
You can certainly take medication alpha blockers like Tomsulosin This will help to improve urine flow and to some extent reduce the frequency of urination and nocturnal frequency too.
However consult qualified Urologist for clinical assessment .He is the best person to decide regarding need for surgery.
