Patient's question:
A few days ago, during the company's health check-up, the ultrasound showed an enlarged prostate (4.4) x (3.3), with uniform internal echoes, smooth shape, and clear edges. Is this considered large? I haven't experienced any particular physical discomfort.Doctor's answer:
The normal size of the prostate is 543 centimeters. The current size is still lacking a value. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, it is generally not necessary to address it. Only annual dedicated health check-ups are required. If symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and urine splitting reappear, further detailed examination should be conducted. The prostate can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
