What Is The Treatment For Enlarged Prostate?

My age is 27yrs. My full abdominal USG report says that "Prostate is mildly enlarged in size. Echotexture appears within normal limits. No focal alteration of its echogenecity could be detectable. Its measure: 39.7mm x 35.0mm x 44.6mm. Approximate weight could be around = 32.46gms. Is any special care or medical treatment needed?

Hi
Are you having any symptoms like urine hesitancy or urine dribbling or pain during urination.
If you donot have any complaints and its just a ultrasound report . I would advice if you were my patient you don't need any treatment.
Patients with mild symptoms or moderate-to-severe symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who are not bothered by their symptoms and are not experiencing complications of BPH should be managed with a strategy of watchful waiting. In these situations, medical therapy is not likely to improve their symptoms and/or quality of life . In addition, the risks of treatment may outweigh any benefits. Patients managed expectantly with watchful waiting are usually re-examined annually.
I hope I have clarified your doubt.
Wish you a good health.
