Hello
Your ultrasound findings suggests mildly enlarged prostate.
It is a age related finding.
Mildly enlarged prostate need clinical correlation and further investigations.
PSA(prostate specific antigen)should also be assessed in enlarged prostate.
After clinical evaluation,you may need medicines to take like alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.
You can consult nephrologist.
Get well soon.
