Can teblets controll my waterworks?

The urinary symptoms can simply considered to be of two types i.e. due to obstruction to the urine flow due to enlarged prostate (Hesitancy to start urine flow, weak flow and sense of incomplete emptying)and iritative symptoms due to incomplete emptying or premeture bladder contrations (frequent passing of urine, urgency to pass urine)
The drugs which have been used to controll the prostate related symptoms are of three types, the Alpha Blockers relax the bladder neck and thus reduce the resistance offered by the urethra to the urine flow, they donot effect the prostate size so with time as the prostate grows their effectiveness might go down. The Alpha reductase inhibitors can reduce the prostate volume if teken over an extended period of time. Both of these groups of drugs are focusing on the prostate, trying to reduce the resistance to urine flow by an enlarged or obstructing prostate. The Anti cholinergic medicines act on the bladder bladder, allowing it to hold a larger volume for longer period of time.
