Is Surgery The Only Option For Moderate Prostatomegaly?

Sir/Madam,
My father (aged 54 years) has been diagnosed with Moderate Prostatomegaly. The urologist we are consulting has suggested surgery. My query is : Can this condition be treated through drugs, or is surgery the only option? If we resort to surgery, what are the likely side-effects?
