CBD Oil for Prostate Cancer Dr Emmy Akins

The prostate is a small gland found in a man's lower abdomen. It's located under the bladder and surrounding the urethra. The prostate is regulated by the hormone testosterone and produces seminal fluid, also known as semen. Semen is the substance containing sperm that exits the urethra during ejaculation. When an abnormal, malignant growth of cells - which is called a tumor - forms in the prostate, it's called prostate cancer. This cancer can spread to other areas of the body. In these cases, because the cancer is made of cells from the prostate, it's still called prostate cancer. According to the Urology Care Foundation, prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths for men in the United States.
