I am suffering from bp for long time and I am under medication and borderline blood sugar.

Hi there and thank you for your question.

I appreciate you concern regarding your prostate but I would like to put your mind at ease here.

The readings you've noted in your inquiry are within normal parameters according to the information I have. A normal adult prostate can weight between 20-25 grams and have have dimensions of 40x20x30mm. If anything, it's very slightly increased in one of the dimensions but really nothing to worry about.

Also, if you don't have any lower urinary tract symptoms such as difficulty to start urinating, weak stream or dribbling at the end of urinating then I would also not worry about prostate related issues.

The best way to screen for prostate pathology is to have a prostate exam done by your doctor, which entails a digital rectal evaluation, and combining those findings with a blood test of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels.

I hope this helps and good luck.
