Excerpt from The Prostate Gland and Its Enlargement in Old Age The Prostate is a firm glandular body which surrounds the neck of the bladder, and the first inch and a quarter of the urethra in the adult male. Its relation to these parts is of the most intimate nature, and indeed it cannot be disconnected from them without destroying their integrity. Of itself it does not seem to be a very important organ; at least little has been satisfactorily proved as to its function beyond its being a gland which furnishes a fluid accessory to the secretion of the testicle; and the remark made by J ohn Hunter holds good with regard to our present knowledge of its office, The use of this gland is not sufficiently known to enable us to judge of the bad consequences that attend its diseased state, abstracted from swelling. Many circum stances, however, combine to prove this to be an accessory gland of reproduction; it discharges its secretion into that portion of the urethra where the ducts of the testicles open; in certain animals, such as the mole, which have stated periods of sexual intercourse, the prostate is diminished in size during the intervals; in persons who have been castrated it dwindles down almost to a rudimentary condition; and it is the seat of certain disorders, especially chronic inflammation and undue secretion, arising from over-indulgence in sexual pleasures quite apart from any specific infection. I lately had the opportunity of dissecting the organs of generation in a man about 35 years old, whose penis had been removed apparently by an operation some years before his death; the prostate, in common with the testes, vesicula seminales and the dilated terminal portion of the vasa deferentia, was much reduced m Size.
