Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your prostate is mildly enlarged and you are suffering from benign hyperplasia of prostate.It is age related disease.
Your situation can be managed by alpha blockers.You should take medicines regularly.It causes regression in size of prostate.
Surgery is required in cases not responding to medical management.
PSA (Prostate specific antigen)should also be evaluated to exclude malignant causes.
Hope i have answered your query.
Get well soon.
Take Care
