Hi,
As per my surgical experience, the normal CT scan rules out major issues but not 100% pathologies which are in the early phase.
I would suggest discussing the following issues with his doctor to decide a further plan of cure
- urine culture, prostate massage fluid culture if not done
- prostate biopsy if not done
- serum PSA level if not done.
If reports are being carried out, kindly revert back with details.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
