hi,
I think you were diagnosed as BPH and started on medication for BPH. Once these medication are started they have to be continued indefinitely. After stopping the medication you had retention for which you were catheterised. Since you are not able to pass uine after removal of catheter you need surgery. It is an endoscopic surgery where prostate is removed in small pieces. Consult your urologist.
