The prostate gland is a component of the sex organs of the male. The prostate gland is mistakenly called the prostrate, rather than prostate. The prostate gland's most significant function is to first secrete and then store a transparent liquid that is part of semen (seminal fluid). A normal human's prostate is a little bit larger in size than a shelled walnut. It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It is located in front of the rectal area and a portion of it can be felt during a rectal exam or evaluation.

Inflammation in the prostate is a gland that is called prostatitis. If the prostate gets too enlarged it can obstruct urine flow, making urination difficult and very painful and in severe situations totally impassable. Prostatitis can often be treated with antibiotics, massage of the prostate or even surgical procedures.

In older-aged males, the prostate may enlarge to the point where urinating is difficult. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can be treated with the use of medications or with surgical procedures that removes a portion of the prostate. One common operation used in these types of cases is called transurethral prostate resection (TUR or TURP).

Cancer of the prostate gland is one of the most common cancers to affect older-aged men and a major cause of deaths. Consistent rectal exams are recommended to discover prostate cancer before it spreads. There can be also a laboratory blood test that measures the concentration of a protein, PSA or Prostate Specific Antigen), which is, in normal men, quite low. Raised pSA blood results might indicate a disease in the prostate, either prostatitis, benign hyperplasia or prostate cancer. The PSA test cannot distinguish between these conditions, but can be a reason for a doctor to investigate more. Prostate cancer is treated with hormonal manipulation (prevention of production of testosterone), radiation or even surgical measures. It has recently been detected that medications like Docetaxel could be effective in treating a cancerous prostate.

Stimulating the prostate gland in men is frequently 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 massage of the prostate whether for clinical value or strictly sexual purposes.
