What is a Prostate Gland? |

Text
|
The prostate gland is one of the three male sex glands and lies just below the urinary bladder, in the area behind the penis and in front of the rectum. It secretes semen. The urethra carries the urine from the urinary bladder and the semen from the sex glands to the outside of the body. |

Posted on: 07/25/2011 Well I won't be doing that again! Had transrectal prostate biopsy on Monday, by Wed evening was in hospital with blood infection and also severely painful infection in right testicle. Took three days of antibiotics to get rid of the infection and fever, but I'm told the testicle [swollen to three times normal] will take weeks to return to normal size. No one saying anything about whether it will still work or not.
Lovely.
