Heh, I was hoping for something a little more specific than that. I tried
holding a walnut up against my prostate and roughly comparing the size but
it didn't quite do the trick heh :p
Can anybody tell me if a diameter of 4.19cm and a volume of 11.53cc is
normal for a 25 year old?
thanks!

It's like asking what is a normal size of a nose for a 25 yr old. Or
size of penis.
A diameter of 4.19 cm and volume of 11.53 cc is a weird combination
for a prostate, because the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 4.19
cm is about 38 cc. For it to come out to 11 cc, it would have to be
flattened to less than a third of the diameter. It would look like a
flying saucer. Except that it would not be flying, of course.
I don't think in general it matters what the volume of a 25-yr-old
prostate is.

Are you sure you know where your prostate is located? You would have to ask
you doctor (preferably a urologist) for an estimate of the size.

How did you manage to hold it up against your prostate??
You are working with the wrong gland. Lots of pictures on the web showing
about what it looks like. At my urologist's office I saw a set samples of
what various sizes would look like.
