My father had an ultrasound awhile ago and they found out that his prostate gland left side is enlarge like 40 sorry I forgot the unit measurement but I saw there grade 2. I confined him in the hospital because of pain in urinating and also his WBC is elevated with fever so his dr advised me to confine him and give antibiotic orally. When they say grade 2 does it mean that he has a prostate cancer
Hello dear... The symptoms like pain in urinating, elevated WBC & fever suggest that your father might be having Prostates (inflammation/infection of the prostate)Antibiotics form the mainstay of the treatment. So.please continue them as advised by the Doctor. There is nothing to worry...he will be fine. Enlarged prostate gland is also seen in Benign prostate hypertrophy(BPH) & Prostate cancer. Normal prostate is 20 to 25 grams and BPH starts around 40 gram. Investigations like Prostate Specific Antigen estimation & biopsy of the prostate will help in clinching the diagnosis. However, Cancers with a Gleason score of Wishing him a Good Health. Let me know if I need to clarify further. Thanks & take care.
