The prostate, as an important male reproductive organ, is highly valued by male friends. Once suffering from prostate disease, it not only causes great harm to the patient's body, but also has a certain impact on the patient's family. So how much do we know about the prostate gland? Now let's learn some related knowledge about the prostate gland!
The transverse diameter of the upper end of the prostate is about 4CM, the vertical diameter is about 3CM, and the anteroposterior diameter is about 2CM. There is a fascia sheath on the surface, called the prostate sac. There is a prostatic venous plexus between the bladder and the prostate. The secretion of the prostate is the main component of semen.
The prostate is an unpaired parenchymal organ, composed of glandular tissue and muscular tissue. The transverse diameter of the upper end of the prostate is about 4CM, the vertical diameter is about 3CM, and the anteroposterior diameter is about 2CM. There is a fascia sheath on the surface, called the prostate sac. There is a prostatic venous plexus between the bladder and the prostate. The secretion of the prostate is the main component of semen.
The prostate is slightly flattened chestnut shaped, with a wide upper end called the base of the prostate, adjacent to the bladder neck. The lower end is pointed and located above the urogenital septum, known as the apex of the prostate. The part between the base and tip is called the prostaglandin body. The back of the body is relatively flat, with a longitudinal shallow groove on the median line, called the prostatic sulcus. The male urethra penetrates into the prostate near the anterior edge of the glandular base, passes through the anterior part of the glandular parenchyma, and exits from the tip of the prostate. At the posterior edge near the base, a pair of ejaculatory ducts penetrate the prostate and open on the seminal vesicle on the posterior wall of the urethral prostate.
The excretory duct of the prostate opens at the posterior wall of the urethral prostate. The prostate is generally divided into five lobes: anterior lobe, middle lobe, posterior lobe, and bilateral lobe. The middle lobe is wedge-shaped and located between the urethra and ejaculatory duct. After the age of 40, the middle lobe becomes enlarged and protrudes upwards towards the bladder, causing the bladder prolapse to protrude significantly and compressing the urethra, causing difficulty in urination.
The above explained to us what the prostate is and some related knowledge about the prostate. Through the introduction, we have gained a better understanding of this organ and provided some basis for preventing prostate disease in the future. Since the prostate is an important organ in the male body, we must strengthen prevention and protection to prevent the invasion of prostate diseases.
