HEALTH - PROSTATE DISORDERSThe prostate is a gland located at the base of a man’s bladder, behind the pubic bone and in front of the rectum. This gland, which is roughly the size and shape of a small crab apple, weighs only about an ounce in young men. It surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine away from the bladder and transports semen during ejaculation. A good way to envision the prostate is as an apple with the core removed, with the urethra passing through the middle. The prostate’s primary function is to produce prostatic fluid, a component of semen. Also, during ejaculation, smooth muscles in the prostate contract to help propel semen through the urethra. Technically the prostate is not part of the urinary system. But because of its location and relationship to the urethra, the prostate can (and often does) affect urinary function. Prostate cancer: After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in American men and is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer deaths. In 2009, an estimated 192,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer, and about 27,000 died of the disease. The good news is that reliable diagnostic tests and numerous treatment options are available, and death rates from prostate cancer are on the decline. Nearly 100 percent of men are still alive five years after a prostate cancer diagnosis, about 93 percent are alive 10 years after diagnosis, and approximately 79 percent are alive 15 years after diagnosis.
