prostate glands

Reproductive fluid producers

The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ in males that surrounds the urethra below the bladder, producing fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.

It commonly enlarges with age, causing urinary difficulties.

Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers in men.

The plural prostate glands typically appears in anatomical or comparative contexts: Prostate glands vary in size across mammalian species.
