The prostate gland is a vital component of the male sexual organs. The prostate is mistakenly known as the prostrate gland. The prostate's predominant function is to first produce and then store a clear fluid that is a vital part of seminal fluid or semen. A healthy human prostate is slightly larger than a walnut. The prostate surrounds the urethra underneath the urinary bladder. It is located in front of the rectum and part of it can be felt while undergoing the rectal examination.

Inflammation of the prostate gland is called prostatitis. If the prostate becomes too large it can stop the urine stream, making urination difficult and very painful and in very severe cases entirely impassable. Prostatitis can be treated with antibiotic drugs, massage of the prostate or even surgery.

In elderly males, the prostate can grow to the point where urination is difficult. This is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can be treated with medicinal drugs or with even surgery that removes a portion of the prostate. One commonplace surgery used in these types of cases is called transurethral prostate resection (TUR or TURP).

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers that strikes older men and a major cause of dying. Consistent rectal exams are medically recommended to detect prostate cancer early. There is also a laboratory blood evaluation that will measure the concentration of a protein, PSA or Prostate Specific Antigen), which is, in normal men, very low. Raised blood PSA results could highly suggest disease in the prostate, whether prostatitis, benign hyperplasia or a cancerous prostate. The PSA test cannot distinguish between them, but can be grounds for your doctor to investigate with further tests. Prostate cancer is treated with hormonal manipulation (preventing testosterone production), radiation or even operations. It has just recently been detected that medications including Docetaxel can be effective in the treatment of a cancerous prostate.

Stimulating the prostate gland in men is often compared to stimulation of the G spot in females because prostate stimulation can cause more powerful orgasm. Prostate massage or milking refers to massaging motions of the prostate whether for clinical or just for sexual purposes.
