Get a Second Opinion on Prostate Cancer
The prostate is a gland that helps produce the fluid found in semen. It is located between the bladder and the rectum. The prostate surrounds the urethra. Typically, the prostate is about the size of a walnut. If the prostate becomes too large it causes pressure on the urethra and slows and possibly stops urine flow. One condition that might cause prostate enlargement is prostate cancer. Urinary issues are one of the symptoms of this particular type of cancer.
