Prostate Problems
The prostate is a gland the size of a walnut located between the pubic bone and the rectum in men. The prostate’s main job is to make part of the fluid in which sperm travel. The urethra (the tube through which urine leaves the body) runs through the center of the prostate gland. There are many different kinds of prostate problems, and they are common in men age 50 and older.
