What is the Prostate

The prostate gland is a part of the body that few people know much about. Not surprisingly, lots of people think the prostate has something to do with regulating the flow of urine. If there is a problem in the prostate, urination can become painful or difficult. The prostate is actually part of the male reproductive system. Most people don’t know what it does and even scientists aren’t sure about all its functions. That’s why we sometimes call it the Secret Sex Gland.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer begins in the prostate. Cells in the prostate start to divide and grow out of the normal pattern. This does not mean that you end up with a larger prostate. The cells that are growing are similar to cells in the prostate, but they do not grow into normal prostate tissue, they grow into lumpy bundles of cells called tumours. Tumours disrupt the normal function of the prostate, cells that come free from the tumour can travel elsewhere in the body and begin to grow tumours there.
