Prostate Function
The prostate is a gland found only in men that fits into the pelvic area and resides just behind the walls of the rectum. The prostate produces a fluid that makes up about ΒΌ of a man's seminal fluids. Proteins called prostate-specific antigens, or PSAs help to keep the semen in liquid form. The normal male prostate is about the size of a large walnut and is an important part of the male reproductive system, and also works to keep male urine from getting into a man's semen, and enhances the pleasure of a man during sex.Prostate function declines in men as they age, which is when most problems that are associated with the prostate commence.It is not uncommon for the male prostate to begin enlarging with age, which often decreases prostate function. The most common prostate problems include prostatitis (infection of the prostate) and prostate cancer.
