Enlarged Prostate Types

An enlarged prostate can be divided into two types, one is a blockage type, and the other one is a hyperplastic type. With the blockage type of an enlarged prostate, prostate cells are enlarged, but the number of cells do not increase because of the actual blockage, prostate congestion and swelling.The Hyperplastic type of an enlarged prostate means prostatic cells are enlarged and the number of cells increase mainly due to an age-related sex hormone imbalance, generally from 50 years of age, on. 

How To Calculate The Volume and Weight of the Prostate

The volume of the prostate: the transverse diameter, the longitudinal diameter and the antero-posterior diameter of the prostate will be measured by ultrasound, the volume of the prostate is equal to 0.523 mutiplied by the product of the three diameters of the prostate. And the weight of the prostate equals the volume of the prostate mutiplied by 1.05.The normal prostate is less than 20ml in volume and less than 20 grams in weight.

How To Estimated The Degree Of Enlarged Prostate

Using Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) to evaluate the size of the prostate and estimate the weight: 1) Degree I Enlargement: the estimated weight is 20 to 25 grams.2) Degree II Enlargement: the estimated weight is 20 to 50 grams.3) Degree III Enlargement: tthe estimated weight is 50 to 75 grams.4) Degree IV Enlargement:  the estimated weight is above 75 grams.

Common Causes Of An Enlarged Prostate
