A walnut-sized gland tucked away under the bladder and adjacent to the rectum, the prostate provides about a third of the fluid that propels sperm through the urethra and out of the penis during sex.
The prostate is composed mostly of tiny glands that secrete fluid, surrounded by soft tissues and muscle that wrap around the upper section of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out through the penis.
Removing the prostate gland has complications because of the location of the prostate gland; it is situated at the neck of the bladder and effects the flow of urine; it also produces the seminal fluid in which semen swim at time of ejaculation and the tube that transports the semen passes through the gland.
