Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What the ultrasound report you have put up clearly says that your prostate gland is enlarged.
Since the findings says that the echotexture is heterogenous and a calcific speck is seen, it is better to rule out prostate cancer before any intervention is planned.
Hence, it is suggested to get your blood tested for Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels, which would give a proper picture about it. Kindly get it done as recommended.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
