This gland is not well developed except in boars. It is occasionally enlarged, due to infection with tubercle bacilli, colon bacilli, or pyogenic cocci. There may be ab- scess formation or fibrous proliferation in the prostate. Enlarged prostates partially obstruct the urethra by pressure, thus making urination difficult.
