The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The gland is made of two lobes or regions enclosed by an outer layer of tissue. The prostate is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder, where urine is stored. The prostate also surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes out of the body.
