prostate question

Posted , 12 users are following.

I have been diagnosed with a 32 gram prostate. Just wondering can anyone tell me what cc stands for? I have read some comments where the guy will say he has a 98 cc prostate. whats the difference from grams to cc when giving the prostate size. tx

    I don't think anybody should refrain from expressing their opinions.

    I don't have a problem with opinions, per se. What I take issue with are opinions presented as facts and opinions that are at odds with established data. I see a lot of that here and I'm sure that there are folks here who may not be willing or able to distinguish between the two. Hence my occasional disclaimers. At almost 1 year post-TURP, I'm about ready to leave anyway. There is no longer any information here that is useful to me.

    FYI, My uro told me based on DRE that my prostate was ~30 grams. I had a CT scan for a bleeding problem and was told by the radiologist that my prostate is ~125 grams and very odd shaped. Mine did grow outward. I'm on finasteride and daily Cialis and I'm not sure the present size on my prostate. That said, I occasionally measure my flow rate using a graduated beaker and watch with a second hand. My flow is ~20-25 ML/sec. Some days as much as 30ML/sec. I bought one those funnel type things and overflowed it. I can eat moderate amounts of spicy foods, drink caffeine coffee and have a diet of mostly red meat. I drink alcohol so I can't comment on that. All I'm saying is size doesn't matter as much as some think.

      this is fantastic flow, you don't have any BPH now, right? have you had any procedure in the past? average flow for 66-80 years old is 9ml/sec, according to published research, I am at 16.6 ml/sec post FLA and very happy with my flow
