With the improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for quality of life. Nowadays, people's health awareness is becoming more and more clear, the problem of male reproductive health is becoming increasingly clear, and the knowledge of male reproductive system diseases is also being popularized. Now let's introduce some knowledge about prostate!
The shape of the prostate is like an inverted chestnut, which is located below the bladder neck and surrounds the junction of the bladder mouth and the urethra. This part of the urethra is therefore called the "urethro-prostate part", that is, the pipe formed in the middle of the prostate forms the upper part of the urethra.
The prostate is closely adjacent to the vas deferens and seminal vesicles. The ejaculatory duct enters the prostate from the upper part and opens in the recess in the middle of the prostate. This physiological position can easily explain why prostate diseases often involve sexual function. The internal structure of the prostate is composed of glandular tissue and smooth muscle, with 30-50 tubular glands buried in muscle tissue, 15-30 excretory tube openings are formed in the crypts on both sides of the middle of the prostate, and the prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate is discharged from this.
The common examination contents of urogenital diseases include routine examination, prostate examination, infertility examination, bacterial virus culture examination, etc. As far as the examination means are concerned, they can include touch examination, biochemical examination, imaging examination, puncture examination, etc. The specific examination items and methods need to be determined by the doctor according to the patient's condition.
Prostate examination: The common digital rectal examination (DRE) is to directly examine the abnormal growth or tumor of your prostate. The prostate specific antigen test (PSA) measures a series of proteins hidden in the blood. If the test result is higher than the normal level, it may indicate that there is cancer in the body. It should be checked every year from the age of 40.
Testicular examination: The doctor recommends that you check your testicles every month for abnormal changes or growth. The earlier the testicular cancer is diagnosed, the easier it is to cure. Men between the ages of 15 and 35 should have a testicular examination at least every 2 to 3 years.
Urinary system examination: male urinary system is prone to inflammation, and early diagnosis and treatment have a great impact on recovery, so regular physical examination should be carried out.
Reproductive experts stressed that the key to paying attention to male reproductive health and preventing male reproductive system diseases is to abandon some old ideas and styles, start from life, develop good living habits, and build a healthy body for yourself.
