Q. Kindly tell me the best medicine to cure prostate enlargement.

Hello doctor,

I have the condition of enlargement of the prostate for the last over five years. I am 53 years old. I am taking capsule Urimax 40 mg once in a day and I am able to manage the condition. However, it seems that of late, my libido is negative and the sex life is absolutely zero. Though sex at this age is not important but sometimes for the sake of feeling that you are not 70 years male one desires to feel with a certain enthusiasm. So could you please let me know that whether the prostate enlargement and the Urimax is having a fallout on my libido and poor sex life? Is there any mild medicine for the treatment of this condition which is not having any side effect and is not habit forming and has no withdrawal symptoms if the medicine is discontinued after use?

Thank you doctor,

I am not consulting any urologist for the last five years and I am only regularly taking one capsule Uromax 4 mg every day and I am able to perfectly manage my condition of an enlarged prostate. I am taking medical advice for my anxiety disorder from a psychiatrist and for my constipation from a gastroenterologist and taking the following medications. For anxiety disorder, capsule Venlor XR 75 mg BD, Nexito 5 BD, Qutipin 25 mg OD, For acute chronic constipation, tablet Pruvict 2mg OD and capsule Pantocid L OD. I do not want to visit any urologist now when my condition of enlarged prostate is getting managed for the last five years simply by taking one capsule of Uromax 0.4 mg. Could you kindly, therefore, advise me about my other issue which I have explained in my previous query about the libido and absolutely nil sex drive. Again I would like to share with you that sex and libido may not be very important thing at my age but still I wanted to find out the reason and if with some mild medication which is not having side effect the condition can be improved.

Could you please advise me a line of medical prescription for this which gradually can improve the condition. I have strong will power and do sufficient physical exercises and try to do lot of reading about medical conditions and about the psychology disorders. If you medically think that the personal life naturally gets over at 53 years, I would not bother myself and the doctor for looking for the reason for my condition regarding libido and negative sex drive. But if there are medical reasons and can be treated with very mild medication or by any natural therapy I would seek your advise both medical and non-medical because taking more stringent medication for this condition may affect my gut and other bodily symptoms.
