The size of the prostate varies with age. In normal adults prostate weighs approx 20 gms (Ref.Text book of Pathology by Dr. Harsh Mohan,Prof. & Head ,Govt Medical college Chandigarh) but it can become significantly larger in older men. The rate of enlargement varies, but by 50 years over half of men have an enlarged prostate.
The normal size of the prostate for a man aged 69 typically ranges from about 20 to 30 cubic centimeters (cc), although size can vary among individuals. Generally, the prostate may enlarge with age due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is common in older men. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are recommended to address any concerns related to prostate health.
A prostate size of 34 grams is generally considered within the normal range for adult males. The average prostate size typically ranges from 20 to 30 grams, but sizes can vary significantly among individuals. Factors such as age and overall health can influence prostate size, so it's important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized assessment and advice.
The normal prostate size varies with age. In young men (ages 20-30), the prostate typically measures about 20-25 grams. By middle age (around 40-60 years), it may increase to 30-40 grams, and in older men (over 60), it can grow to 40-60 grams or more due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It's important to note that individual variations exist, and prostate size alone isn't a definitive indicator of health.

Most men after the age of 50 will develop some type of prostate issue, such as benign prostate hyperplasia (enlarged prostate).
