Prostate is small gland present in the male reproductive part. It’s very small, almost the size of walnut. It surrounds the part of urethra which is a tube that carries pee from your bladder. It created a fluid which helps in carrying sperm while ejaculation. And this prostate can enlarge when you grow old and it’s a normal thing.
