Answers:
Well a normal prostate is roughly the size of a walnut depending on your age. Most people do not seek medical advise until they are having symptoms from the enlargement. Symptoms may include the following;

Most Common Symptoms are:
* Blood in the urine (i.e., hematuria), caused by straining to void
*Dribbling after voiding
*Feeling that the bladder has not emptied completely after urination
*Frequent urination, particularly at night (i.e., nocturia)
*Hesitant, interrupted, or weak urine stream caused by decreased force
*Leakage of urine (i.e., overflow incontinence)
*Pushing or straining to begin urination
*Recurrent, sudden, urgent need to urinate
*localized Pain

If you are having trouble I would suggest consulting a Urologist.

In an adult male, it is about the size and shape of a walnut and weighs about 20 grams. It is located directly beneath the male bladder and in front of the rectum. A thick fibrous capsule surrounds the prostate.
