Prostate is a unique gonad organ in men. Prostate, such as chestnuts, is attached to the bladder, with the bottom facing up and the top facing down, reaching the urogenital diaphragm, with pubic symphysis attached to the front and rectum attached to the back. Therefore, when the prostate is enlarged, you can do a rectal digital examination and touch the back of the prostate.

There is a urethra in the middle of the prostate. It can be said that the prostate guards the upper mouth of the urethra, so the prostate is sick and urination is first affected.

Prostate is a very rare gonad in human body, and it has both internal and external secretion functions. As an exocrine gland, the prostate secretes about 2 ml of prostatic fluid every day, which is the main component of semen.

(1) Mucosal gland: the smallest, located in the urethral mucosa, with the catheter opening in the urethra.

(2) Submucous gland: It is located in the submucosa of urethra, and the catheter opens in the urethra on both sides of seminal vesicle.
