What is the prostate?
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland whose primary purpose is to help in a man's reproductive function. The location of the prostate is just underneath the bladder in men. Due to the location of the prostate gland and its adjacent anatomy, it occasionally will affect men's urinary control or cause urinary issues. Some of these symptoms can include urinary frequency, urgency and having to urinate at night.
