The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder that plays an important role in the male reproductive system by producing fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. As men age, the prostate can become enlarged or develop other conditions that may affect urinary and reproductive health. Common symptoms can include frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urine flow, weak urine stream, or discomfort. Early evaluation and appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and support long-term prostate health.
