About the Prostate

Only males have prostates, so only men can get cancer of the prostate. That's the good news for women! The prostate is an important part of a man's "urogenital" system, and proper functioning of the prostate is important to proper bladder control and normal sexual function.

Where is your prostate?

A man's prostate gland is a solid organ found immediately below his bladder (see Figure 1), and it surrounds the "urethra" -- which is the tube connecting the bladder and the penis through which a man urinates. The other important parts of the male urogenital system are the seminal vesicles and the testicles. The health of the prostate and prostate cancer health should be treated with prostate health hair loss.
