Abstract

This study was a descriptive cross sectional study which aimed to evaluate the benign prostatic hyperplasia using ultrasonography, carried out in Omdurman Sharg Elnil and Alailfonen Hospitals June 2018 to February 2019. There were 60 males patients were scanned by ultrasound, all had patients age abover 38 years, Any patient had normal prostate and prostatic cancer was excluded from this study. All these patients were scanned trans abdominal ultrasound using mindary DP10 ultrasound machines to evaluate the prostate volume, out lines, internal echogenicity of prostate and any other diseases associated with BPH like (classification, cyst,others). Data was collected using data collected sheets and analyzed using the collecting data program. Study found that the most affected age by benign prostatic hyperplasia 60 to 70 years respectively (71.46)the prostate volume with mean 55,6 and stander deviation 24.08., there was a linear correlation between age, occupation and prostatic volume. The study concluded that the normal prostate usually include homogenous echo pattern, regular out line, with or without presence of classification, cyst, diverticulum, and residual urine may be found or not. Study recommended that ultrasound scanning should be done routinely for any patient with age above forty years to exclude BPH, because is sheep and safety.
