Dear XXXXXXX
Although the prostate is only mildly enlarged, there is significant residual urine. If Veltam has been started recently, a repeat sonography for post void residue after a month would help assess any residual urine.
If your have been on Veltam for some time before the ultrasound, a change in medication would be needed.
A PSA level needs to be checked.
A simple cyst on USG is of no consequence as it is a normal part of ageing.
The calculi is small, and not obstructing the urine flow. Even if it moves from the present location, a stone of this size will pass through without a problem.
No surgical procedures are needed.
But do take plenty of water/ fluids ~ 2.5 to 3 lit a day. Esp at night before going to bed.
Following up with. An ultrasound 6 monthly should be enough
Rest of your reports are fine.

THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK
THE URINE WHICH I AM PASSING CREATES NO BURNING SENSATION,BUT ITS LIKE HOT WATER COMING OUT
THE URINE WHEN PASSED,CREATES LARGE AMT OF FOAMS AND JELLY FORMATION
DOCTORS HERE R SAYING THIS IS DUE TO MORE PROTEIN IN URINE
YOUR VIEWS REGARDING THIS?
IN NIGHT I NEED TO URINATE AFTER EVERY 1-1/2 HR
MOST OF THE TIME I COULD NOT HOLD URINE IN DAY TIME AND IT COMES OUT
DOCTORS ARE SUSPECTING UTI INFECTION?

Hello
Yes, urine like hot water is most likely to be a UTI.
Froth in urine is again suggestive of increased protein in the urine. However even during UTI there is an increase in protein in the urine and can lead to frothing.
A repeat urine routine and microscopy and a urine culture would help.

Hello
Your present wt loss, and symptoms are unlikely to be due to a primary kidney problem.
Your PSA levels are in range.
However you should get yourself checked by a urologist for any local problems or an overactive bladder....
