Patient's question:
More and more people are suffering from prostatitis now, so I'm also upset about getting this disease myself. Therefore, I specifically measured my prostate: approximately 39mm in diameter, and about 20mm in the front-to-back diameter. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
The size of the prostate is normal. The general normal size of the prostate is approximately 4 cm in length, 3 cm in width, and 2 cm in thickness. Your current measurements in diameter and anteroposterior diameter also fall within the normal range for the prostate. As for the possibility of an issue, it may be due to a lack of thorough ultrasound examination. If you have no discomfort, no recurrence of urinary abnormalities such as frequent urination, urgency, or hesitation to urinate, it is likely that there is no prostate disease. The prostate can be stable, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
