Abstract
Objective: To asses the symptoms and size of prostate in male population of same age group.
Methodology: This study was carried out in the department of Radiology and Urology Chandka Medical College Hospital, Larkana, Pakistan from January 2014 to April 2014. We studied 201 consecutive men aged 50-90 years who came for ultrasound scanning. Measurements of prostate gland were performed by just vision 400 ultrasound machine in supine position. The volume of the prostate was calculated in grams.
Results: 103 patients with clinically diagnosed PBH and 98 patients without any urinary symptoms of same age group underwent ulrasound. Mean age of symptomatic patients was 62.29±7.67 and that of asymptomatic patients was 59.14±7.54 year. The mean volume of prostate gland in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients was 52.3±2.76 and 49.87±3.57 grams, respectively. There was no statistically sinificant difference in the volume of prostate gland in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.
Conclusion: The size of prostate does not matter for developing symptoms of BPH.
