Enlarged prostate. Sagittal (left) and axial (right) ultrasound scans of the pelvic region of a male patient showing an enlarged prostate gland (grey region at centre of each image). The prostate sits below the bladder (black). It produces a fluid that forms part of the semen. Enlargement (hypertrophy) of the gland obstructs the neck of the bladder,impairing urination,which may in turn damage the kidneys. In this case,a benign tumour (adenoma) is suspected. Treatment may include surgical removal of part of the prostate gland or the prescription of drugs that cause it to shrink | |
