Brief Answer:
BPE with recurrent UTI,is the diagnosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.

Treatment of prostate gland enlargement (BPE), isn't to be stopped in ten days.
It takes about two weeks to get some relief from symptoms.
Then you need to take it continuously,till review with Urologist at one month.

If your urine culture showed infection(UTI),the antibiotic course must be completed.
The cause for recurrent UTI is the BPE.
If you need any further clarification,you're welcome and send all the reports.
Drink about ten glasses fluids daily.
Wish you well.

Dear Sir

So you advice following :
1. Continue with Alfoo for about 14 days. ( Is their any precaution to be followed like No Sex and No Ejaculation )
2. Currently no infection, had completed 10 days course of Antibiotic.
3. Should I drink lot of water. This means I will need to urinate very often.

Please confirm

Brief Answer:
Continue with Alfoo daily.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
You will need to take Alfoo daily. BPE increases gradually with age. Alfoo is taken to give some relief from the symptoms you have.
It also will help to prevent recurrent UTI,to some extent.
Drink about 8-10 glasses of fluids daily. That's enough for a healthy adult.
Wish you good health.
Dr. Matthew J.Mangat.
