A Study of Benign Prostatic HyperPlasia byUltrasonography

Abstract

This study was cried out to study the size of prostate gland enlargement in adult patients age 50 years and over, using ultrasound., curved heights frequency transducer is used, two views are taken Sagittal and axial to provide acceptable range of enlargement prostate gland volume. A prospective selection of fifty symptomatic males was recruited and measurement of the maximum length, height and width of their prostate gland were obtained and the volume was calculated. Subjects were selected, if they had complaints related to the urinary system or signs of urinary tract disease. The mean measurement of the three parameters length, width, and height are 5.32, 4.7 and 5.73cm respectively. The mean prostate volume obtained from the above parameters was 65cm with stander deviation (17.03). The result are discussed in details, from the data obtained Finally, Prostate volume measurement was calculated by (measured height × length in Sagittal plane × width in the axial plane and multiply by 0.52) calculation done by machine. The findings show that prostate volume increases linearly with age and child number
