Hi welcome to healthcare magic forum,
No its not a matter of concern, as per sonography it is slightly enlarged, its normal with the age,(26 gm), and post residual urine volume is also OK, so you can relax, need not to be concern.Besides that your father is asymptomatic then then it will not be a wise decision to fiddle it with. Yes as per his age you can get a test done called serum PSA=(Prostate specific antigen) to rule out any underlying cancer in prostate. If it is high then we have to move for needle biopsy to confirm .
Regards,
Thanks
