Prostate is enlarged in Size

Hi ,

Recently, I have got medical check up done for my father, 61 yrs .  I have re-produced the report here.

Al though family physician said nothing to worry, and it is normal.
I am worried little , as my father complained about 2-3 times passing urine every night and also has complaint about indigestion. Kindly need your valuable suggestion  
Prostate is enlarged in SIZE with normal echotexture.

Prostate measures: 39x33x32 mm (volume 22cc)

Impression:
Borderline Prostatomegaly.

Rest of Visualised organs appear normal.
Regards,

Hello~I have put a transfer for the post to be in the men's health forum, they probably will have better answers than I do. I will say that if the doctor did not say anything was serious, it is probably OK, but, like I said, the men's group will know more about this. Good luck.

If his PSA value is low, it is just BPH (benign Prostate Hyperplasia). The prostate is enlarged (although 22cc is not big) and can press against the bladder or limit the flow of urine.
The first can give rise to urge incontinency (urge to pee although the volume in the bladder is still low), the second can make it difficult to fully empty the bladder and so shortens the interval between to toilet visits.

If the complaints are severe enough, there are several options:

-There are several medicines to battle the symptoms (vesicare, tamsulosine) and
-there is also a medicine combo that shrinks the prostate (combodart, avodart).
-There is physical therapy for urge incontinency
-surgery if the  above fail to work sufficiently
