Does my 76-year-old father need surgery for his enlarged prostate if he is taking Urimax daily but still has urine left in his bladder after peeing?

Asked by Male, 76 · 14 days ago

Having some urine left in the bladder while taking Urimax (tamsulosin) is common but does require a doctor's evaluation. It doesn?t automatically mean he needs surgery. Sometimes, adjusting his medication or adding another prostate medicine can help. However, because incomplete emptying can lead to bladder infections or kidney strain, it is best to consult his urologist. They can measure the remaining urine with a quick, painless ultrasound and discuss the safest, most comfortable next steps for him.
