    That depends on the present size of the prostate. Since the man is 56years old, he is nearing the age for BHP. If the prostate enlargement is relatively small, no medication is required now. Just wait and watch.

    Hello,

    As mentioned by Dr. Abhijit Ray, we need to wait and watch if any symptoms arise. Based on the complaint of the patient the treatment can be planned.

    Nothing needs to be done for it
    we can do a serum PSA level and digital Rectal examination for screening purposes after counselling him about its benefits
