What is Prostate?
[[File:Prostatelead.jpg|thumbnail|200px|Human male anatomy]] The '''prostate''' is a [[gland]] of the [[male]] [[body]] that adds part of the fluid to [[semen]] and acts as the valve between semen and urine. A healthy [[human]] prostate is slightly larger than a walnut. It surrounds the [[urethra]] just below the [[urinary bladder]]. Prostate [[cancer]] is one of the most common cancers affecting elderly men in developed (also known as [[first world]]) countries and a major cause of [[death]]. Regular rectal exams are recommended for older men to detect prostate cancer early. The prostate is often referred to as the male [[G-spot]], which is a spot inside the female vagina that causes intense pleasure when it is stimulated. The prostate can be massaged by using a finger or during anal sex. Some males are able to [[orgasm]] with prostate stimulation alone. == Other websites == * [http://www.soc.ucsb.edu/sexinfo/?article=19Rv University of California, Santa Barbara's SexInfo] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070226174922/http://www.soc.ucsb.edu/sexinfo/?article=19Rv |date=2007-02-26 }} This article includes general information on the prostate, related medical conditions, and information on stimulating the prostate for sexual pleasure. {{-}} {{reproductive system}} {{-}} {{Biology-stub}} [[Category:Anatomy of the male reproductive system]] [[Category:Glands]]
