Your flow pattern and post void residual urine has to be assessed before taking a decision of operating.

Usually 24 gms prostate does not require surgery, but at the age of 86 years with symptoms s. Psa levels should be measured.

requirement of medicine or surgery does not depends upon the size of the prostate . It depends upon the symptoms of prostatism. so in my opinion, try with the medication, if not relieved, better to go for surgery considering your advancing age.
