I'm 28 and after kidney stones the ultrasound shows grade 1 prostate is it possible in early age to suffer from prostate.

Question

Dear Lybrateuser, - It is very rare to suffer from prostate enlargement at your age but take some precautions to keep it healthy: - reduce weight by diet & exercise to acceptable range for your height & age (consult a dietician for a diet programme) - have plenty of oral fluids including 8-10 glasses of water per day - have more of fruits, vegetables & whole grains, restrict fried, processed & junk foods - empty your bladder whenever you feel the urge, try not to hold urine for a long time - empty bladder at night before going to bed - have lycopene containing foods like tomatoes, watermelon, tomato ketchup - avoid alcohol & smoking if you do - do regular exercise like brisk walking, jogging, swimming to reduce weight & keep your body fit.

Respected Sir
1.Ultrasound is an observer dependent investigation. So please do not worry regarding the size of the prostate on ultrasound
2.Prostate problems start usually over the age of 40.
3.Please do not worry about these things as long as you are not having any urinary complaints.
Hope this helps
Take Care
Thanks.
