The prostate is a gland that is a vital component of the sex organs of the male. The prostate gland is mistakenly called the prostrate gland. The prostate gland's paramount role is to first secrete and then store a clear liquid that is a component of seminal fluid (semen). A normal man's prostate is slightly larger than a walnut. The prostate surrounds the urethra below the 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 is a gland that is called prostatitis. If the prostate grows too much in size it can hinder the urine stream, making urination difficult and very painful and in very extreme cases completely impassable. Prostatitis can often be treated with antibiotic drugs, massage of the prostate or operations.

In older-aged males, the prostate may enlarge to the point where urination is difficult. This is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can be treated with the use of medicines or with surgical measures that removes part of the prostate. One common surgical procedure used in such cases is called transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR or TURP).

Prostatic cancer is one of the most frequent cancers affecting older men and a major cause of death. Consistent rectal exams are medically recommended to discover prostate cancer in the early stages. There can be also a lab blood test that measures the amount of a protein, PSA or Prostate Specific Antigen), which should normally be very low. Elevated test results can indicate a disease inside the prostate, whether prostatitis, bPH or a cancerous prostate. The PSA test cannot distinguish between these conditions, but can be a reason for a doctor to investigate more thoroughly. Prostate cancer is treated with hormonal manipulation (preventing testosterone production), radiation or surgical measures. It has only recently been uncovered that medications such as Docetaxel can be useful in the treatment of cancer.

Stimulation of the prostate gland in men has been compared to stimulation of the G spot in females because prostate stimulation can result in a more powerful orgasm. Prostate massage or prostate milking refers to massaging motions of the prostate either for clinical or strictly sexual fulfillment.
