Patient's question:
I feel tightness around the anus. Is it a problem with the prostate? Where is the prostate located in the human body?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is an organ that inhibits urination and has loading and unloading functions. It is located in front of the anus and rectum. In other words, if you insert your fingers 2 cm into the anus and move forward, you will feel a hard, spherical mass, which is the prostate. Its size and shape are similar to an upside-down chestnut. The upper part is attached to the bladder, the lower part is attached to the urogenital diaphragm, the front is close to the pubic symphysis of males, and the back is close to the rectum. The male urethra passes through the center of the prostate gland.
