Alpha-blockers used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (eg Flomax) help relax muscles near the prostate to relieve pressure and let urine flow more freely, but they don't shrink the size of the prostate. For many men, these drugs can improve urine flow and reduce BPH symptoms within days.
Talk to your doctor if you don't notice any improvement in your symptoms.
