The prostate is a small gland, about the size of a walnut, that is part of the male reproductive system. Located below the bladder and surrounding the urethra, it plays a crucial role in the production and storage of seminal fluid, an essential component of sperm.
With age, the prostate can become susceptible to various changes and pathologies, including cancer. If left untreated, these problems can adversely affect quality of life. In some cases, surgery is the most effective solution.
