prostates
Walnut-sized male organs
Prostates is the plural of prostate, a walnut-sized gland in males that surrounds the urethra below the bladder and produces fluid for semen.
The plural appears mainly in medical and scientific contexts discussing the organ across multiple subjects: The study examined prostates from fifty donors.
Prostate cancer and enlarged prostates are common concerns in older men.
