where is the prostate located in the male body
Prostate The classical description of a healthy human male prostate portrays it as slightly larger than a walnut. The mean weight of the normal prostate in adult males is about 11 grams, usually ranging between 7 and 16 grams.[6] A study stated that prostate volume among patients with negative biopsy is related significantly with weight and height (body mass index), so it is necessary to control for weight.[7] The prostate surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder and can be felt during a rectal exam.
Urethra Females use their urethra only for urinating, but males use their urethra for both urination and ejaculation.[1] The external urethral sphincter is a striated muscle that allows voluntary control over urination.[2] Only in the male is there an additional internal urethral sphincter muscle.[3]
