Hi,
At your age, enlargement of prostrate gland is very rare.
First I would suggest you to confirm the volume of prostate gland. This can be done by gettaing an ultrasound scan of your abdomen. Also the volume of urine in urinary bladder must be recorede before and after urination..
A consultation with urologist is necessary and they will do an uroflometry.
Please do nopt worry as medicines exist which help in reducing size of enlarged prostate to normal.
Hope this helps,
Dr Anjana Rao
