The prostate is a small gland found in men that is part of the male reproductive system. It is located below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out through the penis.
The prostate produces a fluid that mixes with sperm to create semen. It helps nourish and protect the sperm, aiding in their mobility and survival.
Common prostate problems include benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is the enlargement of the prostate gland; prostatitis, which is inflammation of the prostate; and prostate cancer, which is the abnormal growth of cells in the prostate.
Symptoms of prostate problems can vary depending on the specific condition. Some common symptoms include frequent urination, weak urine flow, difficulty starting or stopping urination, blood in urine or semen, pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, and erectile dysfunction.
