ABSTRACT
The prostate is a chestnut-sized gland located just below the bladder, behind the pubic bone, and in front of the end of the colon. The basic function of the prostate gland is to produce most of the fluid in the semen. The fluid (secretion) of the prostate and seminal vesicles protects and nourishes the sperm on their way to the ovum of a woman in the womb. The basic function of the prostate is related to fertility, not the sexual power of a man. The most common changes in the prostate gland are inflammation (prostatitis) and benign prostatic hyperplasia. New treatment options for prostate cancer are highlighted.
