  1. Symptoms of Enlarged Prostate The prostate is a masculine gland that plays vital functions specifically for sexual essence. An analogue of the male prostate in female is the skene’s or paraurethral gland. The male prostate is very unique. In normal form, the prostate weighs about 11 grams. The weight can also range from 7 to 16 grams. The walnut sized gland may enlarge to a number of times its size. Pains, discomfort and urinary issues are some of the major symptoms of enlarged prostate. The prostate is strategically positioned beneath the bladder, beside the seminal vesicle and surrounding the urethra. This positioning is highly related to its function. Basically, it secretes a slightly alkaline fluid which could be milky or white in color. This fluid constitutes about 30% of the human semen, making the semen alkaline. The vaginal tract is acidic and this acidity can destroy the sperm or shorten its lifespan. However, this acidity is neutralized by the alkalinity of the semen.
