Hello
Thanks for your query .You have been diagnosed to have enlarged prostate (41gms)and have multiple cardiac problems .

Ideally there are two modalities of treatment for enlarged prostate
1) Medical line of treatment which includes alpha receptor blockers like Tomsulosin(Urimax) and Dutasteride ..These drugs help to reduce the size of the prostate and improve urine flow .and has to be continued till you opt for surgical treatment .

2) Second option is to get the enlarged prostate removed by an endoscopic surgery of TURP .

In view of you having multiple cardiac problems I would suggest you to avoid surgery and continue taking medicines for life long .
