The word refers to a gland that exists only in men.

It is located beneath the bladder passes seminal fluid and semen through the penis.

The prostate never stops growing and frequently becomes a problem for men when is begins to obstruct the flow of urine.

Prostatitis is the inflammation of the prostate and can be fairly painful. Can be caused by infection or impact.

prostate cancer is typically a slow growing cancer and most men will get this in their 60s and 70, though prostate cancer is being found in younger and younger men.
