The Prostate

The prostate is a gland that produces fluid (semen) in which sperm swim.

Where is the Prostate?
The prostate cannot be seen or felt outside of the body becasue it lies between the penis and the bladder. A doctor can feel the prostate when doing a Digital Rectal Examination (DRE)

Size & Shape
It is normally the size of a walnut and looks similar to a ring donut. The shape allows a tube to run through it. This tube (The Uretha) allows urine to pass from the bladder through the penis to outside of the body.
