Prostatectin FAQ

Where is the prostate gland located?

The prostate gland lies just below your bladder. It helps produce healthy sperm. Problems with the prostate gland can affect how you urinate and your sexual function. Prostate cancer is caused when some cells in the prostate start to grow out of control. Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in UK men.

Which part of the prostate carries sperm?

It is divided into 2 lobes and surrounded by an outer layer called the capsule. The prostate gets bigger as you get older. The prostate is below the bladder, surrounding the first part of a tube called the urethra. The urethra carries pee (urine) from the bladder to the penis. The same tube also carries semen, which is the fluid containing sperm.

Who can get a prostate test?

The test is available to anyone with a prostate, including trans women and non-binary people. This summary information sheet, available as a printable PDF and in accessible digital format, is for GPs to give to individuals aged 50 and over who do not have symptoms of prostate disease, and who proactively raise the issue of PSA testing.
