Prostate is a gland and an integral part of the male reproductive system. It is located just below the bladder, in front of the rectum in the man and it is about the size of walnut. As it surrounds the urethra it also affects the normal flow of urine. Usually hormones control the prostrate. These hormones are responsible to affect their growth. They are very effective and important in maintaining the balance in the prostrate.
