Where Is My Prostate Located And What Does The Prostate Do?
The walnut-sized prostate gland produces a thick, milky-white fluid that becomes part of the semen, the liquid ejaculated during sexual activity. It is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder (see illustration above). It also wraps around the upper part of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. Counterintuitively, the top of the prostate is called the base and the bottom is called the apex.
