The prostate is a vital part of the masculine sex organs. It is mistakenly known as the prostrate gland. Its most significant job is to first produce and then store a transparent liquid that is a vital component of semen (seminal fluid). A non-diseased human prostate is a bit greater in size than a shelled walnut. It surrounds the urethra underneath the bladder. It is also located in front of the rectal region and a portion of it can be felt during the course of the rectal part of the exam.

Inflammation of the prostate gland is called prostatitis. If the prostate grows enlarged it can block urine flow, making urination difficult and painful and in severe cases entirely impassable. Prostatitis can usually be treated with antibiotic prescription medications, prostate massage or even surgical procedures.

In men who are older, the prostate often enlarges to the point where urination becomes difficult. This is named bPH/benign prostatic hyperplasia. It can be treated with medicinal drugs or with even surgical procedures that removes a component of the prostate. One very typical surgery used in these types of cases is called transurethral prostate resection (TUR or TURP).

Cancer of the prostate gland is one of the most frequent cancers that strikes elderly males and a leading cause of deaths. Regular rectal exams are recommended to discover prostate cancer in the early stages. There is also a lab blood test that will measure the concentration of a protein, PSA or Prostate Specific Antigen), which is also normally quite low. Elevated test results may signify disease within the prostate, either prostatitis, bPH or cancer. The PSA test cannot distinguish between these conditions, but can lead a physician to investigate further. Prostate cancer is treated with hormone manipulation (preventing testosterone production), radiation or surgery. It has recently been uncovered that medications like Docetaxel are effective in the treatment of a cancerous prostate.

Stimulation of the prostate in men has been compared to stimulation of the G spot in females because prostate stimulation can lead to more powerful experience of orgasm. Prostate massage or prostate milking refers to massaging motions of the prostate whether for health-related or strictly sexual purposes.
