Description
The prostate is a gland that is located just
below the bottom of the bladder and in front
of the rectum and surrounding the urethra
which is the tube that carries urine or
semen. Its main role is to produce and store
semen which carries the sperm, a function
that is of utmost importance in male sexual
reproduction.
In the normal male the prostate grows from
puberty until the age of 25. However, in
some men over the age of 50 the prostate
continues to grow, an unhealthy occurrence
that may lead serious urinary issues.
Prostate cancer occurs when the cells of the
prostate mutate and begin to multiply out of
control.
