The male prostate is located in the pelvis between the bladder and the urogenital diaphragm. The prostate wraps around the root of the urethra and is shaped like a chestnut. The prostate belongs to the glands of the male reproductive system and is relatively wide at the upper end and slightly thinner at the lower end, with the back of the prostate directly adjacent to the rectum. The back of the prostate is directly adjacent to the rectum. Therefore, the prostate can be palpated through anal palpation. The size of the prostate gland is not constant and depends mainly on the hormone androgen. The prostate grows rapidly during the early stages of sexual maturity. When the prostate gland develops a lesion, such as prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia, it presses on the urethra, and the patient may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain and difficulty in urination. When men develop lesions on the prostate, it is recommended that they seek immediate medical attention to avoid delays.
