Enlarged prostate causing inability to pass urine normally and requiring a bladder tube to drain the urine is a definite indication for surgery.
Nowadays the surgery is done minimally invasively via an endoscope.The procedure is called TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).
TURP carries a significant risk of retrograde ejaculation at sexual intercourse and hence the patient may have a dry ejaculation and hence infertility.
The alternative is he has to wear the urine tube all the time which is unacceptable as a longterm solution.
