The prostate is a vital part of the masculine sexual organs. The prostate gland is mistakenly known as the prostrate gland. The prostate gland's overriding role is to produce and store a clear liquid that is a component of seminal fluid. A healthy man's prostate is a bit greater in size than a walnut. The prostate surrounds the urethra underneath the bladder. It is also located in front of the rectal area and part of it can be felt during the normal course of a rectal evaluation.

Inflammation in the prostate is a gland that is called prostatitis. If the prostate grows too much in size it can obstruct the flow of urine, making urination painful and difficult and in severe cases wholly impassable. Prostatitis is treated with antibiotic drugs, prostate massage or operations.

In older males, the prostate may enlarge to the point where urinating is difficult. This is named benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can be treated with medicines or with even surgery that removes a portion of the prostate. One common surgery used in these types of cases is called transurethral prostate resection (TURP or TUR).

Cancer of the prostate gland is one of the most commonplace cancers to strike older-aged men and a major cause of deaths. Consistent rectal exams are recommended to detect prostate cancer before it spreads. There is also a laboratory blood test that will measure the concentration of a protein, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), which is also normally quite low. Elevated blood PSA results could indicate a disorder inside the prostate, whether prostatitis, bPH or cancer. The PSA blood test cannot distinguish between them, but can cause a doctor to investigate more. Prostate cancer is treated with hormonal manipulation (prevention of production of testosterone), radiation or surgical measures. It has only recently been uncovered that medications like Docetaxel can sometimes be effective in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Stimulating the prostate gland in males is often compared to stimulation of the G spot in females because prostate stimulation can result in a more powerful orgasm. Prostate massage or milking refers to massaging motions of the prostate either for clinical value or strictly for sexual purposes.
