POSTATE
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that is part of man’s sexual organs. The prostate is wrapped around the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the bladder when you urinate. In men, the urethra also carries semen, the fluid that contains sperm, out of the body during ejaculation. The prostate adds prostatic fluid to the semen when a man ejaculates, and muscles in the prostate gland contract to force the semen out of the body. The prostate undergoes two main growth spurts.
