The prostate gland is a vital part of the masculine sex organs. It is mistakenly called the prostrate, rather than prostate. The prostate's overriding job is to produce and then store a transparent liquid that is a vital component of semen (seminal fluid). A normal individual's prostate gland is a little bit greater in size than a shelled walnut. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra underneath the urinary bladder. It is also situated in front of the rectal region and part of it can be felt while undergoing a rectal examination.

Inflammation in the prostate is a gland that is called prostatitis. If the prostate becomes too enlarged it can jam up the urine stream, making urination very painful and more difficult and in severe situations entirely impassable. Prostatitis is commonly treated with antibiotics, prostate massage or surgical procedures.

In older men, the prostate may enlarge to the point where urination becomes difficult or impossible. This is named bPH/benign prostatic hyperplasia. It can be treated with the use of medicines or with surgical procedures that removes a component of the prostate. One commonplace surgical procedure used in such cases is called transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP or TUR).

Prostate cancer is one of the most frequent cancers that affects older-aged men and a major cause of dying. Consistent rectal exams are recommended to discover prostate cancer before it spreads. There is also a laboratory blood test that can measure the amount of a protein, PSA or Prostate Specific Antigen), which is normally very low. Elevated test results might signal disorder within the prostate, either prostatitis, bPH or cancer. The PSA blood test cannot distinguish between these conditions, but can lead a doctor to investigate more closely. Prostate cancer is treated with hormone manipulation (prevention of production of testosterone), radiation or even surgical measures. It has recently been discovered that drugs including Docetaxel can sometimes be effective in the treatment of cancer.

Stimulating the prostate gland in men is typically compared to stimulation of the G spot in females because prostate stimulation can lead to more powerful sexual climax. Prostate massage or milking refers to massaging motions of the prostate whether for medical value or for strictly sexual fulfillment.
