In the physiological structure of men, the prostate is the unique part of male reproductive gland and other organs. The male prostate is a very rare sex secretory gland with dual secretory function, which plays a very important role in the reproductive health of men?
Why is the prostate gland the life gland of men?
The prostate is located under the human bladder, almost at the bottom of the pelvic cavity, which is normally only the size of a chestnut. The prostate mainly has
1. Four functions of secreting prostatic fluid. The prostate has the function of exocrine secretion. It can secrete prostatic fluid, which is an important component of semen, affects the normal function of sperm, and plays a vital role in fertility.
2. It has endocrine function. The prostate has internal and external secretion functions, among which the endocrine function can prevent a variety of prostate diseases.
3. Control urination. Because there is a urethra passing through the middle of the prostate gland, which is located above the urethra, if the prostate disease occurs, it will also have a certain impact on male urination.
4. Transport sperm. In addition to the urethra, there are two ejaculatory tubes passing through the prostate, which play an important role in sperm transport.
How do men protect the prostate?
The prostate is the unique reproductive gland of men, which plays an important role in the reproductive health of men. However, the prostate is also one of the glands prone to disease. Among male patients in urology department, prostate patients account for about one-third, and the incidence of prostate incidence rate is about 25%. Because the symptoms of prostate are not obvious at the initial stage of disease and are easy to be ignored, most of the symptoms are chronic when they are found at the later stage. Prevention of prostate disease requires men to develop good living habits.
1. Warm perineum
In winter, the prostate needs to take warm measures to keep the perineum and lower abdomen warm and dry. Especially in the evening, you can repeatedly massage the perineum with a hot water bag for about 15 minutes, which will help reduce the tension of pelvic muscles, smooth urination and reduce the pressure of urination.
2. Avoid sedentary
When men sit for a long time, they almost put the prostate at the bottom. When men sit for a long time, the blood circulation in the perineum is slow, and the prostate is repeatedly congested, which is easy to cause prostate disease.
3. Reduce staying up late
Staying up late is a common disease of modern people. Staying up late for a long time can also harm the prostate. This is because staying up late for a long time will reduce the body's immunity, lead to immune dysfunction, and make the prostate more vulnerable to bacterial infection and disease.
