The prostate gland is a small gland that produces seminal fluid, located below your bladder and in front of your rectum. This gland surrounds the tube that transports urine from the bladder out of your body. If the prostate gland is inflamed or enlarged, it can cause problems with urination and can make it difficult to maintain an erection.
If you are a healthy man, your prostate will not give you any problems until you advance in age. However, men over age 50 should begin to pay attention to prostate health, as that is when most prostate health issues begin to surface.
