Prostate
The prostate is part of the male reproductive system and is located just in front of the bladder. The urethra, which carries urine out of the body, goes through the prostate. The prostate is responsible for providing some of the protective fluid during the male reproductive process. The normal size of the prostate is often described as walnut or chestnut sized.
Maintaining a healthy prostate is vital to keeping the male body functioning normally. Therefore, it is critical for men of all ages to have regular check-ups with their physicians or health care professionals and seek medical attention immediately if any changes in normal functioning are noted.
