Patient's question:
I am 75 years old. The result of the detailed ultrasound examination showed a size of 4.3cm x 3.2cm x 2.5cm. Is it normal? If it is not normal, what should I do about benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the standard size of the prostate, the current medical community generally agrees on the value of 40×30×20mm. This value has become one of the important diagnostic criteria for prostate diseases. For men over 45 years old, if the difference between the anteroposterior and transverse diameters is greater than age minus 44, it is considered relatively reduced. Conversely, if the difference is less than age minus 46, it is considered relatively smaller. The condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to fluctuate, requiring long-term medication for maintenance.
