Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What is the normal size of the prostate?Doctor's answer:
The prostate gland is small in size, arguably one of the smallest organs in the human body, weighing about 20 grams, less than 50 grams. Its location is concealed, making it difficult to diagnose. The prostate gland resembles an upside-down chestnut in shape, often referred to as a cone in medical books, though a chestnut seems more descriptive. Its base has a transverse diameter of 4 centimeters, a longitudinal diameter of 3 centimeters, and an anteroposterior diameter of 2 centimeters. I believe most people are aware that prostatitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
