What Is The Average Prostate Size In Normal Adults?
Question: Be so kind, I would like to ask you if a 39 cubic centimeters is a normal prostate volume for a 49 years old male..
Brief Answer:
Prostate measuring 39 cubic centimeter is enlarged
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
A prostate measuring 39 cubic centimeters is diagnosed as prostate enlargement.
The prostate should measure up to 25 cubic centimeters to be termed as normal.
PROSTAMOL is a medicine that relieves complaints related to prostate gland enlargement.
I would also suggest that he gets PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels measured in the blood.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Good day Dr. XXXXXXX
Just last night I've figured out that the PSA taken in August was 1.6. The previous two have been 2.28 and 2.15 repectvely.
I have also few amorphous calcifications by proximity of the urethra, according to the ultrasound from July.
According to the volume of 39 cc, the PSA Density is 1.6/39=0.041.
What is wrong with PROSTAMOL?
I am 49 (Thanks God). Should I have a prostate as of a 30 years old?
Thank you very much and keep in touch!
Best Regards,
XXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
PSA of 1.6 is acceptable and normal for you.
The amorphous calcifications in prostate seen on ultrasound are benign findings and not a concern.
There is nothing wrong with Prostamol, I mean research shows that it works well with minimum side effects.
The problem with benign prostate enlargement is a practical one. I will not say that you should have a prostate like a 30 year old, but if your enlarged prostate is causing difficulty in passing urine or retention of urine then it requires more specific treatment.
Hope your query is answered.
Wishing you a good day too and will be happy to reply more queries from you.

Dr.Vivek
