What is the prostate?

The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland, that is part of the male reproductive system. It produces seminal fluid, and is located just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, through which urine and semen pass out of the body.

What are the most common health conditions affecting the prostate?

The health conditions that most commonly affect the prostate are:

Prostatitis: an inflammation or infectionof the prostate gland. It can cause pain during urination or ejaculation, frequent urination, and sometimes flu-like symptoms.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): otherwise known as Benign Prostate Enlargement, a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, which can lead to urinary symptoms such as difficulty starting and stopping urination, weak urine flow, and frequent urination, especially at night.
Prostate cancer: the malignant growth of cells in the prostate gland. It is the most common form of cancer in men, not including skin cancer. Early stages of prostate cancer may not have any symptoms, but in later stages, it can cause urinary problems, blood in the urine, and pain in the back, hips, or pelvis.
