Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dear sir tell me the solution My father have a problem of enlargement of prostate .Its volume is 59.12 ml. And PSA level is 5.67 . Does he need to surgery or not ? And whats the treatment for solve this problem? Ultra sound report seen Grade 2 level.
Hello and welcome to HCM, Grade 2 enlarged prostate with PSA level of 5.67 pg/mL is suggestive of benign prostatic enlargement. The risk of prostatic cancer is always there, however, PSA level lower than 10 pg/mL keeps you out of risk zone. Prostatic enlargement leads to urinary symptoms like urinary obstruction, urgency, frequency etc. Thus, to alleviate these symptoms, surgical removal of the prostate is required. I suggest you to consult your urologist for further management. After surgical removal of prostate, regular monitoring with PSA is required.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
