CT Scan Showed Mildly Prominent Prostate. What Does This Mean?
Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
You need treatment only if you have urinary symptoms.
Otherwise nothing is necessary.
The urologist will examine you physically and do a digital rectal examination (DRE) to see if the prostate is enlarged and possibly do a uroflowmetry test.
Based on the finding and urinary symptoms, he will give suggestions.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
DR GS
