Prostate Volume Enlarged In Renal Ultrasound. Normal Prostate Volume For 27 Yr Old?

Hi, I recently went for a renal ultrasound . My prostate volume was measured at 35cc. I have no symptoms, I ve always been a frequent urinator since I was a child and last time I was checked my prostate was found to be slightly enlarged but nothing to worry about. Is the 35cc volume normal for my age? I am 27 years old, non-smoker, very light drinker, not overweight
