Problems urinating -

Hi
I underwent an appendix surgery 4 years back and since then, the flow of my urine has been decreasing. I got an ultrasound done (PVR) and there was a 144ml residual urine in bladder. The uroflometry also showed that the flow was weak. I started feeling that the urine passage is never empty and a few drops would come out once I have packed myself. Also I had to stand and wait for 30 secs to 3-4 mins before I started urinating. Also I feel there is mostly a foul smell coming from penis, due to the leaking of few drops.
A month back, when thought all this was too much and consulted a doctor. I was prescribed ALFOO 10mg, I saw some improvement with the medicine (say 20%), but the side effects were a lot, so the doctor has asked me to switch to RAPILIF 4mg. I have read that this new medicine has ejaculation sideeffects.
So here are my queries:
1- Should I switch over to the new medicine, knowing the side effects.
2- Are the side effects temporary or permanent.
3- I have stopped any medication for last 3 days and I see the situation is again deteriorating.
4- Is there a permanent solution to the problem or will I have to be on medication forever.
I hope that these problems get solved ASAP.
Thanks
