I gotta apologise for the length of of this one with a few more to follow but it appears that most of us have an interest in this subject ... so here is more stuff that I anticipate will be of interest ...
"The prostate is a gland that is located in the region between the penis and the bladder, just in front of the rectum. A healthy prostate is thought to be roughly the size of a walnut, and the urethra runs right through it, transporting urine from the bladder to the penis and eventually out of the body.
Additionally, the prostate nourishes semen by secreting a special milky, alkaline fluid that helps to protect it and makes up roughly 30% of semen that is produced by the body. There are also smooth muscles within the prostate that help to expel the semen when orgasm occurs. It is necessary for sexual performance.
Unfortunately, it is also vulnerable to a number of conditions such as cancer, an enlarged prostate otherwise known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH, and inflammation.
The prostate is key in the production of semen and the regulation of urinary flow. Let’s take a deeper look at those two bodily functions that they prostate helps to perform: Proper Urinary Function
As mentioned, urine passes through the prostate during the urination process, as it is located right between the bladder and penis. An enlarged prostate, or BPH, can put pressure on the bladder, which makes the body feel the need to urinate more frequently, which is most annoying at night when you’re trying to sleep. Additionally, it can lead to pressure being placed onto the tubes that transport the urine, leading to inconsistent urine flow or dribbling or leaking urine."
