prostate
Walnut-sized male organ
The prostate is a gland in male mammals that surrounds the urethra near the bladder and produces fluid that becomes part of semen.
Prostate problems are common in older men—the gland often enlarges with age, affecting urination.
A prostate exam involves a doctor inserting a finger into the rectum to check the gland's size and condition.
Often confused with prostrate, which means lying flat.
