The prostate is a walnut-shaped gland that is part of the male reproductive system. The main function of the prostate is to make a fluid that goes into semen.
Prostate fluid is essential for a man’s fertility. The gland surrounds the urethra (urinary passage) at the neck of the bladder. The urethra (urinary passage) is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. The bladder neck is the area where the urethra (urinary passage) joins the bladder.
