The prostate is a gland that is a component of the male sex organs. The prostate is mistakenly called the prostrate. Its paramount function is to first secrete and then store a transparent fluid that is an important part of seminal fluid. A normal human's prostate is slightly larger in size than a walnut. The prostate surrounds the urethra just below the bladder. It is located in front of the rectal area and part of it can be felt while undergoing the rectal examination.

Inflammation in the prostate gland is known as prostatitis. If the prostate becomes enlarged too much it can impede urine flow, making urination difficult and painful and in severe instances totally impossible. Prostatitis can often be treated with antibiotics, prostate massage or even surgery.

In men who are older, the prostate may enlarge to the point where urinating is difficult. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. It can be treated with different types of medicines or with even operations that removes part of the prostate. One very typical surgical procedure used in these types of cases is called transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR or TURP).

Prostatic gland cancer is one of the most frequent cancers to strike older-aged men and a leading cause of death. Regular rectal exams are highly recommended to discover prostate cancer in the early stages. There can be also a laboratory blood evaluation that can measure the concentration of a protein, PSA or Prostate Specific Antigen), which is, in normal men, quite low. Elevated blood PSA results may suggest disease inside the prostate, whether prostatitis, bPH or prostate cancer. The PSA test cannot distinguish between these conditions, but can lead your physician to investigate more closely. Prostate cancer is treated with hormonal manipulation (prevention of production of testosterone), radiation or even surgery. It has recently been detected that drugs such as Docetaxel can be useful in the treatment of a cancerous prostate.

Stimulation of the prostate in males is often compared to stimulation of the G spot in females because prostate stimulation can lead to more powerful orgasm. Prostate massage or prostate milking refers to massaging motions of the prostate whether for health-related or strictly for sexual fulfillment.
