Prostate disorders such as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer are most common in older men, others such as prostatitis occur more in younger men following infections in most cases.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between prostate volumes for age and some abnormal consequential urological parameters such as intravesical prostatic protrusion (IVPP), post voidal residue (PVR), urinary bladder wall thickness (UBWT) due to urothelial remodeling after longstanding obstruction or urolithiasis from abnormal calcifications in the urogenital organs.

The cross-sectional study was conducted over a span of 6 months to gather this data with written consent obtained from the subjects in form of questionnaire. The estimation of prostate volume and other urological parameters involved 538 healthy divided into 2 age groups of younger adults (<60 years) and older adults (>60 years). This was achieved through trans-abdominal suprapubic ultrasonographic examinations carried out at TAK radio-diagnostic center, Kwara state. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 27. A significance level of p-value (< 0.05) was adopted to determine statistical significance.

The correlation between age, prostate volume and other urological abnormalities was statistically significant. The study established that there was a significant relationship between age and urological abnormalities.
