The prostate is a component of the male sex organs. It is mistakenly called the prostrate, rather than prostate. The prostate gland's principle role is to first secrete and then store a transparent liquid that is a vital part of semen, or seminal fluid. A non-diseased human's prostate gland is a bit bigger than a shelled walnut. It surrounds the urethra beneath the bladder. It is also situated in front of the rectum and a portion of it can be felt during the course of the rectal examination.

Inflammation in the prostate gland is called prostatitis. If the prostate becomes too enlarged it can obstruct urine flow, making urination very painful and more difficult and in very severe instances totally impossible. Prostatitis is commonly treated with antibiotic medications, massage of the prostate or even surgical procedures.

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

Prostatic gland cancer is one of the most commonplace cancers affecting older males and a leading cause of death. Consistent rectal exams are medically recommended to uncover prostate cancer early. There is also also a blood evaluation that can measure the concentration of a protein, PSA or Prostate Specific Antigen), which is, in normal men, quite low. Elevated bloodwork PSA results can signify disorder inside the prostate, either prostatitis, bPH or prostate cancer. The PSA test cannot distinguish between these conditions, but can lead your physician to investigate even further. Prostate cancer is treated with hormone manipulation (prevention of production of testosterone), radiation or even surgical measures. It has just recently been detected that drugs such as Docetaxel are useful in treating prostate cancer.

Stimulating 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 massaging motions of the prostate whether for medical value or strictly sexual fulfillment.
