The prostate is a small gland in the male reproductive system that produces seminal fluid and sits just below the bladder, as per Mayo Clinic.In many cases, the disease progresses slowly and may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages. When it advances or spreads to other parts of the body, it can lead to urinary problems such as frequent urination, a weak or burning stream, erectile difficulties, and pain in the lower back or hips. Diagnosis usually involves PSA blood tests and tissue biopsies, and the majority of cases are adenocarcinomas that respond well to treatment when caught in time.
