FAQ's

The prostate gland becomes inflamed or infected when someone has prostatitis. The prostate gland is a small, walnut-sized structure that is situated behind the bladder in males and surrounds the urethra. The prostate plays a key role in the male reproductive system by producing a fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.
