Abstract:
This study is to evaluate the prostate weight in patient above 25 years. The study was done in Sinja hospital, by using trans-abdominal 3.5 MHz probe. The study was carried out in the period from Dec 2011 to Mar 2012. The result of this study showed that the prostate weight increased in a linear fashion with the patient age, weight and height with a coefficient of 0.5gm/years, 0.08gm/kg and 0.09gm/cm respectively. Qualitatively the normal prostate has isoechogenicity and homogeneous texture. Most of the unmarried patient, (78%), showed normal prostate weight. The study showed that ultrasound can be used in diagnosis the prostate weight fairly using the enhanced ultrasound unit.
