"prostate." The prostate is a gland that is part of the male reproductive system. It is located just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). The prostate's main function is to produce and secrete a fluid that makes up part of semen.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and it is a serious health concern. Symptoms of prostate cancer can include difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and pain or discomfort during urination. If the cancer is caught early and treated properly, there is a good chance for recovery.
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is commonly used to screen for prostate cancer. Digital rectal exam (DRE) is another test that can be used to detect prostate cancer. If the results of these tests are abnormal, further diagnostic tests such as biopsy may be recommended.
It is important to note that not all prostate cancers are aggressive and can be treated with watchful waiting or active surveillance rather than immediate treatment
