    Glossary Prostate

    small gland in males producing seminal fluid for sperm transport

    The prostate is a small, walnut-sized gland in males located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It produces seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm during ejaculation. This gland plays a crucial role in male reproductive health, and its enlargement or dysfunction can lead to conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer.
