For men, the prostate is an important part. When problems occur with the prostate gland, other organs in the body are easily affected. Many men may not have a good understanding of the prostate, especially its function, which is often overlooked. Men must understand the function of the prostate.
What are the functions of the prostate gland?
1、 Urination
Due to the proximity of the prostate gland to the urethra and bladder neck, when men have a desire to urinate, the prostate gland is accompanied by contraction of the urinary muscles, and urine is discharged smoothly.
2、 Produce semen
Semen is a fluid that helps transport and nourish male sperm, mostly produced by the prostate gland. The prostate gland can secrete nutrient body fluid, which is called prostatic fluid.
3、 Assist in transporting semen
There are urethra and Ejaculatory duct in the male prostate. When men ejaculate during sexual life, the prostate and seminal vesicle Muscle contraction contract, and semen and sperm in the Vas deferens are compressed and discharged from the body through the Ejaculatory duct.
4、 Promote sperm maturation
The male body androgen needs to be carried out in the prostate during the transformation process. In the transformation process, some Prostaglandin secreted by the prostate can promote the growth of male spermatozoa, so that sperm can mature quickly.
How do men protect the prostate?
1、 Avoid prolonged sitting
In daily life, many men have the habit of sitting for a long time. They work in front of the computer for a long time, but they do not know that prolonged sitting can easily cause congestion in the prostate, which can easily lead to prostate damage and problems.
2、 Preventing excessive sexual activity
Some men have high libido and indulge themselves excessively, but they are unaware that frequent sexual activity can cause prostate congestion and easily damage the prostate.
Zhu Xiaoguang, the Chief physician of the Department of Urology and Oncology of the Hospital of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine of Southern Medical University, said in an interview that at present, many men have Prostatitis due to prostate damage, so we should know about Prostatitis in daily life, and also avoid some Prostatitis behaviors. For example, if you make yourself hold your urine for a long time, often stay up late, wear Leggings or masturbate frequently, these bad habits will lead to male prostate damage and Prostatitis, so men should pay special attention.
Reminder: The prostate gland in men is very important to the body, and it is extremely fragile and prone to problems caused by external factors. Therefore, if men want to keep the prostate gland in a healthy state, they should pay more attention and take measures to protect it. In addition, they should also supplement enough nutrients to maintain the normal operation of the prostate gland in daily life.
