Function after Prostate removal
There was an episode of the t.v. show King of Queens recently that stated that Doug's boss had his prostate removed due to cancer and because of that he had to urinate every 10 minutes and/or had urinary control issues. After having read what has been posted here I find it highly unlikely that this is a realistic depiction. When I was watching it I just assumed that maybe one of the writers on the show had some real life experience where this actually happened. Anyways I was wonder if that would really happen or if it wouldn't?

Female Prostate Update
First let me apologies for those errors’ updates earlier this evening, I’ve not done this before and did not realize there was a “sand box” option. Sounds stupid I know but occasionally I revert back to my blond childhood and am reminded not only how wonderful it was for my hair to get darker with age but how pleasant it is that such moments have become fewer as well.

Second I have made updates to this article in regards to the female prostate and have provided documentation for all of them save one which as a female I fell uniquely qualified to make without but have left the request/option for documentation on it anyway.

So please read and let me know what you think.

More references for female prostate
I had a discussion with someone recently about whether or not a woman has a prostate or not. After reading the current Wikipedia article on the matter, I felt that there wasn't enough information to prove or disprove that women do in fact have a prostate.

I have recently found a PDF document relating to this matter that does prove it, however I'm unsure on what to write on the main article. I was tempted to simply just put a reference to the document. For this reason I am placing a link to this document here so others can discuss it and possibly write up a good section about it.

Active surveillance
The passage on active surveillance suggests that it is an infrequent treatment option. I think that is an obsolete opinion and would encourage a change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.195.100.173 (talk • contribs)

Coagulating gland
The term "coagulating gland" redirects here. However there is no coagulating gland in humans as there is in mice and other mammals. Can someone knowledgeable add a brief description of such a gland under "Other animals" or somewhere? Thanks, Facts707 (talk) 23:44, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Function?
While there is a "Function" section here, it actually gives very little details about the function of prostate fluid. Yes, it contributes volume to semen. Also a list of components is included. However, nothing concerning to function of the components or prostate fluid in general. Things I've heard are (a) brings the pH of the vagina more towards neutral. Would love to have more detail here if anyone can add. 164.47.179.32 (talk) 15:48, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
