Sonographic Measurement of Residual Urine Volume in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Abstract

The study was done to evaluate the incidence of the benign prostatic benign prostatic hypertrophy among an elder patients, and revel the relation between benign prostatic hypertrophy and the volume of the residual urine. The example of 50 Sudanese patients aged between (49-90years) were include I the study ,normal people and patient aged less than 49y were exclude .All the patients were examined by U/S using convex probe of frequency3, 5MHZ. All examinations were obtained in supine position, pre and post voiding in both longitudinal and transverse scans .The prostate volume was measured in cm , and the volume of residual urine was evaluate and measured in ml The results showed that ( 26%)of the residual urine the more frequent (13) with residual urine volume (50ml),and less percent (2%) with Residual urine volume (70ml).The result showed relation between the patient aged and prostate volume, thus the prostate gland volume is increase with increasing age. Also there is significant relation between the volume of residual urine and prostate volume, thus the prostate gland volume increase with increasing the residual urine volume. Also there is significant relation between the prostate volume and both cystitis and calcification ,with cystitis (0.037) ,calcification(0.000). The prostate is main cause of obstruction of the bladder neck or narrowing of the urethra passage. Finally Transabdominal U/S scanning should be used in evaluation of prostatic enlargement in very elder patients because it is being saved, non invasive, cheap, unconsumed time, accurate and easy to operate. Any Ultrasound department should be supplied by Diuretics to achieve quickly and perfect scanning for prostate gland and bladder
