 Where is the prostate gland located?

• In men, the betel-shaped prostate is located below the bladder, which wraps around the opening of the urethra. That is, the initial part of the ureter coming out of the bladder passes through the middle of the prostate.
• The tubes carrying semen pass through the prostate and open into the urethra on either side. For this reason, the prostate gland is an important part of the male reproductive system.

SYMPTOMS:

• Frequent urination at night.
• Slow and thin urine stream.
• A slight delay in starting to urinate.
• Intermittent urination.

• Drop by drop of urine even after urinating.
• Not passing urine completely and not having the satisfaction of passing urine completely.
