Brief Answer:
No direct relation with prostatomegaly
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
The KUB xray shows mild inflammatory process going in the the spine bones which is called Osteoarthritis. This is not serious could be due to long hours of standing or low calcium levels in the bones.
The ultrasound reports says that there is mild block to flow of the urine which could be due to the prostate. The block lead to back pressure and resulted in mild fullness in the upper part of the urinary tract near the kidney.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
