Hello
Enlarged prostate in elderly person shouldn't be taken lightly.As you have less symptoms,so it is expected to respond well to medicines.Surgery is required in moderate to severe cases.
You also need PSA estimation.
Urine RE/ME and urine culture/sensitivity should be done to exclude urinary tract infection as you have burning sensation in back area.
Get well soon.
Take Care
