Is A Large Prostate A Problem?
I have a large prostate (age 58) about 55 cm3 volume with a hypoechoic nodule size 0.7cm in the periphery. My Psa is 1.04 and ratio is o.23. Please let me know the problem. I don t have many symptoms except prolonged urination in the morning. Thank you

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
For your age, enlarged prostate is very common and it is called Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Since your PSA level is under the normal range, there is nothing to worry about.
It is a gradual process and later prostate will grow in size leading to incomplete urination due to pressure on urethra. So, it is better to consult an urologist for medicines which slows down the process.

Wish you a good health.
