The prostate is a gland that is a component of the male sex organs. The prostate is mistakenly called the prostrate. The prostate's most important role is to produce and store a clear fluid that is an important part of semen. A sound man's prostate gland is a little bit larger than a shelled walnut. The prostate surrounds the urethra below the bladder. It is positioned in front of the rectal area and part of it can be felt while undergoing the rectal exam.

Inflammation in the prostate is a gland that is referred to as prostatitis. If the prostate becomes enlarged too much it can jam up the flow of urine, making urination difficult and very painful and in extreme instances wholly impossible. Prostatitis is commonly treated with antibiotics, massage of the prostate or even operations.

In older men, the prostate can enlarge to the point where urinating becomes difficult or impossible. This is known as bPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia. It can be treated with the use of medicines or with even surgery that removes a portion of the prostate. One commonplace operation used in such cases is called transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP or TUR).

Cancer of the prostate is one of the most common cancers that affects older men and a major cause of dying. Consistent rectal exams are medically recommended to find prostate cancer early. There can be also a blood evaluation that measures the amount of a protein, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), which should normally be quite low. Raised test results could signal disorder inside the prostate, whether prostatitis, benign hyperplasia or prostate cancer. The PSA blood test cannot distinguish between them, but can cause your doctor to investigate more closely. Prostate cancer is treated with hormonal manipulation (prevention of production of testosterone), radiation or even surgery. It has only recently been found that medicines such as Docetaxel can sometimes be useful in treating prostate cancer.

Stimulation of the prostate gland in males is frequently compared to stimulation of the G spot in females because prostate stimulation can result in a more powerful sexual climax. Prostate massage or milking refers to massage of the prostate either for clinical or for strictly sexual fulfillment.
