The prostate gland is a small gland located below the bladder in men and surrounds the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). As men age, the prostate may enlarge or develop other medical conditions that can affect urinary and reproductive health. Prostate gland problems can cause symptoms such as difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, frequent urination—especially at night—and discomfort in the pelvic area. Early diagnosis and proper medical care are important to manage these conditions effectively and maintain overall urinary health.
