Urologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Prostatomegaly (prostate enlargement) is common after the age of 50 years. Mild prostatomegaly is normal at 67 years of age. Does the patient have any of the following symptoms:
Poor urine flow, intermittent flow, increased frequency of voiding, urgency in passing urine, waking up after sleep to pass urine, having to strain to pass urine or feeling of incomplete emptying of bladder?
Prostatomegaly is treated when the patient has any of the above said symptoms.
It is important to undergo a digital rectal examination to feel the prostate for any tumors (prostate cancer). After discussion of the pros and cons, the patient may decide on checking PSA level (prostate specific antigen).
Both kidneys are normal in size and the small cyst in right kidney is no cause for worry.
I am available to guide you if you need any clarification,
Dr. Raguram.
