Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have obstructive voiding symptoms due to enlarged prostate and your uroflometry studies have revealed your urine flow to be 6 ml per second which normally should be 15 ml per second.

Please consult qualified urologist for clinical assessment to find out post void urine residue .
It is advisable to undergo TURP to resolve the problem for forever.
