The prostate gland is a component of the male sexual organs. The prostate gland is mistakenly known as the prostrate gland. The prostate's most important job is to first secrete and then store a see-through fluid that is part of semen. A normal individual's prostate is slightly bigger than a walnut. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra underneath the urinary bladder. It is also situated in front of the rectal area and part of it can be felt during the course of the rectal exam.

Inflammation of the prostate gland is known as prostatitis. If the prostate gets too enlarged it can obstruct the urine stream, making urination difficult and painful and in severe instances wholly impossible. Prostatitis can usually be treated with antibiotics, prostate massage or surgical measures.

In older men, the prostate may grow to the point where urination becomes difficult or impossible. This is known as bPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia. It can be treated with medication or with surgical procedures that removes part of the prostate. One very typical surgical procedure used in these types of cases is called transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP or TUR).

Prostatic cancer is one of the most frequent cancers that strikes elderly men and a leading cause of dying. Regular rectal exams are medically recommended to detect prostate cancer in the early stages. There is also a laboratory blood test that will measure the concentration of a protein, PSA or Prostate Specific Antigen), which can be normally quite low. Raised pSA blood results can suggest disorder inside the prostate, whether prostatitis, bPH or cancer. The PSA blood test cannot distinguish between these conditions, but can cause a doctor to investigate more. Prostate cancer is treated with hormonal manipulation (preventing testosterone production), radiation or operations. It has just recently been uncovered that medicines such as Docetaxel can be helpful in treating prostate cancer.

Stimulation of the prostate gland in men is often compared to stimulation of the G spot in females because prostate stimulation can lead to more powerful experience of orgasm. Prostate massage or milking refers to massaging motions of the prostate either for clinical or strictly sexual purposes.
