prostate gland size normal - #28956
I am really worried about my prostate gland size normal, like I just turned 55 and my doctor mentioned my prostate gland size isn’t typical during my last check-up. He said it’s enlarged, which totally freaked me out. I mean, I don't have any symptoms like pain when urinating or anything, but I’ve been peeing more often, and I was like “Is this normal?”. I asked my friends, but honestly, they just laughed it off and said it happens to everyone as they age. But, I wonder if my prostate gland size is normal for my age, you know? I read online that it can be common for guys my age to have issues with the prostate gland size but how do I know if mine is actually in the normal range or if I should be hitting the panic button? Should I be feeling something like discomfort or pressure to even notice? I’m kinda freaked out thinking about what could happen if it isn’t normal. Any insights on how to figure out if my prostate gland size is okay would be super helpful! Ugh, why does this have to be so confusing?!
