A comparative ultrasonic study of prostate gland
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: BPH is a common disorder among elderly males. There is a strong suspicion that the prevalence of BPH is higher than has been reported in clinical retrospective and necroscopy studies. For its deep topographic position in the pelvic cavity the prostate is inaccessible for diagnostic evaluation other than through urethra or rectum more precisely. In the present days ultrasonic technique is suitable for the precise measurement of the size of various organs. Aim: To assess prostatic size in relation to some clinical conditions by Abdominal Contact Scanning (PAUS) or Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS). Materials and Methods: this retrospective study comprises of 154 cases of which 60 cases without any urinary symptoms were taken as controls in contrast to 94 cases showing urinary symptoms. All the cases were subjected through either Abdominal Contact Scanning (PAUS) or Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS). Various dimensions of prostate were applied to the study. Result: All the prostatic dimension are increased in obstructive and irritative urinary symptoms. The Transverse diameter plays a greater role than Antero-Posterior diameter in obstruction.
