Prostate is the most
fragile gland and thus prostate related problems are very common. Prostate is a
part of male reproductive system. It is located around bladder and urethra. It
is almost size of a chestnut. Its main function is to produce a fluid. This
fluid combines with sperm cells and make semen. It is also essential for
hormone metabolism. Testosterone gets transformed into dihydro-testosterone
(DHT) in prostate itself. DHT is responsible to develop adult male
characteristics when boys hit puberty. Prostate also makes sure that semen gets
ejaculated outward during ejaculation and before that it is firmly pressed in
urethra. Sphincter muscles of prostate close urethra up to the bladder. This
prevents entry of any semen inside bladder during ejaculation. Prostate gland
grows throughout a man's life. When gland becomes enlarged, risk of prostate cancer and other prostate related conditions increases.
