Dear Dr. XXXXXXX
Infact, you are correct, I feel like having some fever always apart from body pain(cause may be due to Raozavel) & tired. I hope, it will subside soon.
My doctor says Flotral has to be taken lifelong, is that so, even for mild enlargement, Please clarify, I can ask my doctor again to reconfirm based on your inputs.

Brief Answer:
Feel free to change your medication.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
It's been nice knowing you.
I totally understand you. In fact let me make it simple for you.
1. BPH is nothing but an increase in the "Tissues" of your prostate gland through
which passes a "tube" (urethra) carrying urine / semen (white fluid discharged after sex).
2. This increase in tissue size "squeezes" the "tube" so urination becomes difficult.
3. Flotral is simply a medicine that "relaxes" the prostate tissues like "opening the cap of a soft drink bottle". Please note, I am merely communicating with you and educating you about BPH, in the best way possible, through examples.
4. You may take Flotral as directed by doctor. Suppose you do not comply to it you have options other than taking Flotral.
5. Mr. XXXXXXX this is 2015, please, there are urological techniques that can permanently cure BPH, of course, given the right doctor and hospital.
6. You are free to take the treatment of your choice. If you don't like Flotral, switch to another drug.
Take care,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
