Anyone here good with mathematics/measurements? Could someone describe to me what 186 cubic centimetres actually looks like?

I have never had a head for maths and measurements.

I am trying to get a visual idea of what 186 cubic centimetres would look like.

FIL was told yesterday that his very enlarged prostrate measures 186 cc. I have had a quick google which tells me a normal prostrate should measure around 30cc and would be the size of a walnut. So what would 186cc look like? A basketball/tennis ball size?

6 x the size (30 x 6 = 180)

a bit bigger than a tennis ball

It’s just over a cube 5cm in each dimension. A tennis ball is about 165cc for reference.

It will be about 7 cm across - about tennis ball size. (My maths may be well off).

Likely about the size of a tennis ball. Or a small (half size) tin of beans.

But likely more significant is that it's about 6 times bigger than it should be. I don't know the medical implication of this.
