The prostate gland produces part of the seminal fluid, which is important in male reproduction. It does not produce sperm, but rather secretes substances that help to nourish and protect the sperm as they travel through the male reproductive system. The prostate gland also helps to neutralize the acidity of the female reproductive tract, which can be harmful to sperm.
