The prostate is a walnut sized gland which lies beneath the bladder and surrounds the urethra (water- pipe).
The prostate is a male reproductive organ and its main function is to secrete prostate fluid which is one of the components in semen.
The muscle of the prostate gland ensures that the semen is forcefully pressed into the urethra and expelled outwards during intercourse.
The prostate holds no value after the family is complete.
As men get older the prostate gland tends to grow.
