Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted you are 41 years old and have done USG and revealed Enlarged Prostate 34 gms with minimal post void residue.You can continue the medicines that you are taking now keeping in mind that these drugs have few side effects like Retrograde ejaculation .Please repeat your USG every 6 months to see status of prostate.If you do not have any voiding symptoms you may consult qualified Urologist before you decide to stop taking these drugs on trial basis.Enlarge prostate is a ageing problem and does not get cured permanently with medicines
