Prostate is a sexual accessory gland situated just below the urinary bladder, surrounding the proximal part of urethra in males.
It serves to produce secretions which are meant to help in maturation of sperms, and providing micronutrients to sperms.
Prostate can get affected by infection, benign enlargement or cancerous enlargement. Enlargement of prostate usually happens in age beyond 50 years. Enlargement causes obstruction to urinary flow and causes difficulty in passing urine.
