Hello
Thanks for query .
Ultrasound scanning of your father has revealed
1) Gross Prostatomegaly and suspicious nodule in prostate
2) Infected cyst or nodule in kidney .

Considering the findings in report He has prostatomegaly with nodule which could be a cancerous nodule
2) The cyst in the kidney (Infected )

In a given situation he has to undergo few more tests to establish diagnosis .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.
4) Ct Scan of abdomen and pelvis .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.

Looking at the large sized prostate he will need to undergo surgery /
