Prostate, a male reproductive organ is a small, muscular gland which surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine and semen. It is situated just at the base of the urinary bladder. Prostate is made up of three types of cells or tissues i.e. stromal cells, glandular cells and smooth muscles. Prostate gland is divided into three zones namely, the transition zone, central zone and peripheral zone.

The main function of prostate is proper urination and to produce semen that carries sperms which are produced by testicles. It also forms prostate specific antigen (PSA), a protein which converts the semen into liquid. The growth and functions of prostate depends on the testosterone, male sex homone.

The three major conditions that affects the prostate gland are as follows.
