hai,
As your ultrasound result indicates prostate gland ( gland which lies on either side of the urethra) enlargement. it is common in every men aged above 60 years.
Mild post void residual 36 cc indicates retention of urine in your bladder after urination.
prostate gland enlargement (prostatomegaly) will cause urinary retention and urinary incontinence.
this is not a serious condition to address immediately.
Thank you
hope i answered your query
