Question

I've been struggling with difficulty urinating for the past year I have to push hard to pee and my stream is weak. The cystoscopy showed only a high bladder neck issue, with normal prostate and urethra, but I constantly feel tightness there. My urine smells bad even though UTI tests are negative, and my post-void residue is 46ml. My doctor prescribed Alfoo tablets for life is that safe long-term? Could it harm my prostate or increase cancer risk? Are there any permanent non-surgical treatments for this?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
