: Before recommending any kind of medication, it would be necessary to know what is causing the frequent urination. You should either return to your urologist for follow up or seek a second opinion to get a diagnosis prior to trying to make any plan. Good luck.

Size of the prostate does not necessarily co-relate with symptoms. The causes of your problem(frequency) can be many and have to be investigated then treated depending on cause
