Brief Answer:
Possible BPH

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

I have worked through your ultrasound report in detail.

Everything looks normal except prostate enlargement.

This is mildly enlarged suggestive of BPH / benign prostate hypertrophy.

This requires careful serial monitoring every 6 months.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you so much

Brief Answer:
Antiandrogens will help

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can most certainly understand your concerns.

I apologize for the delayed response owing to my hectic work schedule.

BPH is the early stages is treated with antiandrogen drugs.

I generally prescribe oral pills of finasteride for 6 months. It's effect is monitored by an ultrasound.
This pill is known to delay the progession of BPH

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe it to you.

Post your further queries if any.
Thanking you.
