Prostate Cancer?

So, what is prostate cancer?

Number 1:

Description of prostate cancer. Your prostate gland is the size of a walnut and is located below your bladder. It surrounds your urethra which is a tube that carries urine and semen out of your body through your penis. Prostate cancer happens when a damaged cell in your prostate gland multiplies to make a malignant tumor. We don’t know exactly what causes the damage to happen. The function of your prostate gland is to create and release some of the fluid found in semen.

When you get older, it is common for your prostate gland to become slightly bigger. This is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). As the gland grows larger, it can push on the urethra tube and cause problems with the flow of urine.

But remember, but this enlargement is not cancer.
