Enlarged prostate - need an advice
During regular health checkup ultrasound, it was observed that my father's prostate is enlarged and measures 3.1 X 5.4 X 3.5 cm (volume 31.2 cc), as per report. No free fluid in peritoneal cavity and post void residue is 36cc. Urination is normal, he doesn't wake up frequently in the night and no burning or UTI observed. Physician who reviewed the report said nothing to worry for now and also mentioned that prostate will start shirinking post 70-75 yrs of age. Also suggested to consult Urologist, if any treatment needs to be started. Kindly let me know if any tablets can be started. He is diabetic for last 28 yrs and under control. Also, he has BP and under medication.
