Question

My dad was diagnosed with grade 1 prostatomegaly and his prostate size is 37cc. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure if it's really necessary at this stage. Could we explore other options or wait and watch first? Just looking for a second opinion on whether surgery is the best route right now
