The prostates main function is to secrete and store the seminal fluid (one of the constituents of sperm). It’s a small gland that surrounds the urethra- (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis). It is a walnut-size gland of the male mammalian reproductive system.
During puberty, the prostate grows a lot. It stops growing and then starts again at about age 40. In a lot of men, it doesn’t stop growing. Many men do not complain of any symptoms regarding their prostate gland, but the rest of them develop health problems that need to be addressed immediately.

This type of cancer develops from the tissues of the prostate when cells of those tissues mutate to multiply uncontrollably. The disease can spread (metastasize) from the prostate to other parts of the body (especially in the lymph nodes).
Often these symptoms are treated by doctors through means of surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy and sometimes chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods.
