Hello Doctor, In a recent USG report of my father, 60 years of age, his prostate showing moderate to gross enlarge in size measuring 80.3 cc and median lobe indenting into bladder wall. I am so much worried since he is difficult urinating with an average of 10 to 15 times in a day. Doctors just suggested medicines & a PSA test that yet to come. Is this serious? Will it be fine with medicines or we should go for TURP? Need your help asap!

Hi, if he is responding well to medicines, he may not require surgery. PSA report is important. And if his prostate is 80g and if he does require surgery Holimium Laser prostatectomy (HoLEP) would be a better option than TURP for such a large prostate.
