I agree, men should get an initial diagnosis if they have symptoms of an enlarged prostate (dribbling, poor stream, etc.). Once you have your diagnosis then the question is medication or surgery. But this requires a good discussion with your doctor (a urologist if you want to discuss surgical options). Initial diagnosis should include a history and exam, blood work (including a PSA) and an ultrasound to look at the size of your prostate. In this case size does matter! Remember every option has it's pros and cons and to make a good decision you need to know what they are.
