Normal reference value of prostate size

The prostate is a urinary organ that only exists in men. For older men, the prostate is prone to related diseases. For example, prostate hyperplasia is a common prostate disease. After prostate hyperplasia occurs, patients often experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. So what is the reference value of the normal male prostate size?

What is the normal reference value for prostate?

Many male friends are very curious about the normal prostate size. In fact, there is a special value for the prostate size in clinical practice. The value is generally about 4 cm in the horizontal diameter of the upper end, about 3 cm in the vertical diameter, and about 2 cm in the anterior-posterior diameter. Therefore, if you ask what the normal prostate size is, the answer is generally 4*3*2cm. However, the actual data of different men will vary to a certain extent, and generally there is no substantial disease.

So what do different ranges of prostate values ​​mean?

However, if the size of a man's prostate is larger than the numerical range of 4*3*2cm, then clinically it will be considered a signal of prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic cyst or prostate cancer, but the specific situation still needs to be confirmed after actual examination.

If the actual size of the prostate is less than the numerical range of 4*3*2cm, then the main consideration is prostate atrophy, prostate calcification and prostatitis causing changes in prostate size. In order to better protect male reproductive health, it is recommended to do relevant physical examinations regularly to help better avoid risks.

The above is an introduction to the normal size of the prostate. There is no doubt that the prostate is an extremely important sexual organ in the male body, with endocrine and exocrine functions. If you feel frequent urination, urgency, or burning pain when urinating, it is recommended to go to the hospital for detailed examination and treatment in time to help avoid the risk of disease.

Is it considered a disease if the prostate is smaller than 40×30×20mm?

Modern medicine calls the phenomenon of a prostate larger than 40×30×20mm "prostatic hyperplasia (or prostatic hypertrophy)"; correspondingly, the phenomenon of a prostate smaller than 40×30×20mm is called "prostatic atrophy."

Is prostate shrinkage a disease?

Modern medical clinical observations have found that as one of the accessory organs of the male reproductive and urinary system, once the prostate atrophies, the following four symptoms will appear:

1. Symptoms of urinary dysfunction: such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, thin urine stream, frequent urination at night, etc.;

2. Symptoms of sexual dysfunction: such as impotence, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, abnormal erection, hypersexuality (early stage), decreased sexual desire (late stage), etc.;

3. Symptoms of neurasthenia: such as insomnia, frequent dreams, memory loss, depression, irritability, etc.;

4. Symptoms of physical discomfort: such as sweating, lower abdominal distension, lower abdominal pain, back pain, leg pain, tinnitus, abdominal distension, etc.

Therefore, male friends should never treat prostate atrophy as a disease. Once you find that your prostate size is less than 40×30×20mm, you must go to a regular medical institution for treatment in time to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity and causing the condition to worsen.

How to treat prostate atrophy?

After a lot of theoretical research and clinical practice, experts found that prostate atrophy is caused by prostate necrosis and hardening (also known as "fibrosis").

When the prostate becomes rigid and hardened, on the one hand, it can directly cause the capillaries inside the prostate gland to be damaged and closed, causing prostate atrophy; on the other hand, it can cause prostate inflammation. Under the influence of inflammation, the capillaries inside the prostate gland are damaged and closed, or the prostate gland and other adjacent tissues form adhesions, which can also cause prostate atrophy.

Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of effective treatment of prostate atrophy, it is necessary to fundamentally solve the problem of prostate rigidity and hardening.
