The prostate is a gland found in males, located beneath the bladder and surrounding the urethra. Its main function is to produce and secrete prostate fluid, a component of semen.
Prostate fluid contains enzymes and nutrients that support sperm viability and motility, enhancing their chances of successful fertilization.
The prostate also plays a role in regulating urine flow by preventing urine from entering the ejaculatory ducts during sexual activity. As men age, the prostate can enlarge, potentially leading to urinary and reproductive health issues.
The prostate’s secretion of fluids contributes to reproductive function and overall male reproductive health.
