What is the prostate?

The prostate is part of the male reproductive system and is a small, walnut-sized gland that sits below the bladder and in front of the rectum.  The prostate gland secretes a fluid that makes up part of the semen.
Men should discuss with their physicians about their need to have a prostate cancer screening; which helps maintain proper prostate health.  For more information please refer to our prostate cancer screening brochure:
