The prostate lies adjacent to the bladder in the lower abdomen. The urethra passes from the bladder through the prostate gland and then to the penis. Its function is to produce semen. If the prostate is removed because of cancer (prostatectomy) the urethra is stitched to the bladder. A catheter provides the means of emptying the bladder until the stitches heal.
