Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have nocturnal frequency and have been diagnosed to have Enlarged prostate and have been prescribed Doxazosin and Oxybutinine.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) What is the size of the Prostate gland reported on Ultrasound Scanning?
2) What is the post void residue of urine ?
3) Do you have other problems like Diabetes,Hypertension ,associated with enlarged prostate?

The drugs that you are taking are helpful to reduce the symptoms to some extent but do not offer permanent cure. If your symptoms are disturbing your quality of life I would advise you to get surgery of endoscopic Resection of Enlarged Prostate (TURP)done .This is a gold standard method of treatment for Enlarged Prostate practiced worldwide and offers permanent cure.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions I shall be happy to help you
