Pathophysiology
The prostate is a part of the male reproductive system that helps make and store seminal fluid.
It is located in the pelvis, under the urinary bladder and in front of the rectum.
Because of its location, prostate diseases often affect urination, ejaculation, and rarely defecation.
The prostate contains many small glands which make about 20% of the fluid constituting semen.
In prostate cancer, the cells of these prostate glands mutate into cancer cells.
The prostate surrounds part of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder during urination and semen during ejaculation.
