The prostate is a vital component of the male sexual organs. The prostate gland is mistakenly known as the prostrate, rather than prostate. The prostate gland's principle job is to produce and store a clear liquid that is a component of semen (seminal fluid). A non-diseased human prostate is a bit bigger than a walnut. The prostate surrounds the urethra underneath the urinary bladder. It is positioned in front of the rectal area 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 large it can jam up the flow of urine, making urination difficult and painful and in severe situations entirely impassable. Prostatitis can be treated with antibiotic prescription medications, massage of the prostate or even surgical procedures.

In elderly males, the prostate often enlarges to the point where urinating becomes difficult or impossible. This is named benign prostatic hyperplasia, commonly called BPH. It can be treated with the use of medications or with operations that removes part of the prostate. One very typical surgery used in these types of cases is called transurethral prostate resection (TUR or TURP).

Prostate cancer is one of the most commonplace cancers that affects elderly males and a major cause of deaths. Regular rectal exams are highly recommended to detect prostate cancer in the early stages. There is also a blood test that measures the concentration of a protein, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), which is also normally very low. Raised pSA blood results can signal disease within the prostate, either prostatitis, benign hyperplasia or prostate cancer. The PSA test cannot distinguish between these conditions, but can cause your doctor to investigate more closely. Prostate cancer is treated with hormonal manipulation (prevention of production of testosterone), radiation or even surgical procedures. It has only recently been detected that medicines including Docetaxel are helpful in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Stimulation of the prostate gland in males has been 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 health-related or for strictly sexual purposes.
