Ultrasound check shows an enlarged prostate?

Patient's question:

Is the prostate index normal? Is a prostate size of 43cm x 36cm x 34cm normal?

Doctor's answer:

Prostate hyperplasia, also known as fibrosis. The symptoms are primarily manifested in two groups: one is bladder irritation symptoms; the other is obstructive symptoms caused by fibrotic prostate blocking the urinary tract. Bladder irritation symptoms: frequent urination, urinary urgency, increased nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early sign of prostate hyperplasia, especially when the number of nocturia increases continuously, which is clinically significant. This condition has three main characteristics: reduced prostate volume; bladder outlet obstruction; and lower urinary tract symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and urinary urgency. If symptoms are detected, it is recommended to promptly seek medical attention for examination and treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
