My father was just diagnosed with 179cc prostate and had a sudden urine blockage so they put in a catheter. Can this be treated with medication or will he need surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
With a large prostate (179cc) and sudden urinary blockage, treatment for your father will likely involve a combination of medication and potentially surgery. While medication, like alpha-blockers, can help relax muscles in the urinary tract and improve urine flow, the size of the prostate and the sudden blockage suggest surgery might be necessary
