I went to the doctor today and he said my prostate was "soft". My
question is what does soft means? Is it something bad, should I
worried?
Thank you

Why didn't you ask your doctor?

Since you didn't, here's what I found at:

Q: What is meant by a soft prostate?
A: The normal prostate is soft and spongy, so a soft prostate is a
benign-feeling prostate.

With cancer, the prostate often becomes hard and unyielding.

A "doughy" prostate sometimes refers to a swollen, congested prostate that
can occur with inflammation.
