You Should Learn More about Your Prostate
"Where is the prostate?" When it comes to this issue, many people may not know the answer. In a survey, more than 500 men were surveyed, 80% of them did not know where the prostate was, and some even thought it was growing on the genitals.
Doctors said this phenomenon is related to the lag of medical popularization work; in addition, because the prostate involves sex, the position is relatively special, so people often avoid talking about it.
The prostate gland is a rare sexual secretory gland with both internal and external secretory functions. It is located in the male's private part; its size and shape are like an inverted chestnut. The upper part of which is close to the bladder, the lower part is close to the genitourinary septum, the front is close to the male pubic symphysis, the back is close to the rectum, and the male urethra passes through the middle of the prostate gland.
It can be seen that the prostate occupies the strategic position of the male reproductive and urinary system, which can influence male reproductive health. "Prostate is associated with urination and fertility. "Doctors say that although it is small, its role should not be underestimated. What are the functions of the prostate? The physiological function of the prostate can be summarized as four aspects:
1. Exocrine function
The prostate is the largest accessory gonad in men and one of the exocrine glands of the human body. It secretes prostatic fluid, is an important component of semen, plays an important role in the normal function of sperm, and is very important for fertility. The secretion of prostatic fluid is regulated by male hormones.
2. Transport function
The urethra and two ejaculatory ducts pass through the prostate parenchyma. When ejaculation occurs, the muscles of the prostate and seminal vesicle contract. The contents of the vas deferens and seminal vesicle glands can be pressed into the posterior urethra through the ejaculatory duct and then discharged from the body. In conclusion, the prostate has four important functions and plays an important role in the human body.
3. Controlling urination
The prostate surrounds the urethra and is close to the bladder neck, forming the proximal urethral wall. Its circular smooth muscle fibers surround the urethra prostate and participate in the formation of the internal urethral sphincter. When the impulse to urinate occurs, with the contraction of detrusor, the internal sphincter is relaxed, which makes the urination go smoothly.
4. Endocrine function
The prostate contains abundant 5a-reductase, which can convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone with more physiological activity. Dihydrotestosterone plays an important role in the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia. By blocking 5a-reductase, the production of dihydrotestosterone can be reduced, and the proliferative prostatic tissue atrophied.
The prostate is also known as the lifeline of men, but according to the survey, more than 80% of men have never done any prostate examination in the past five years, which is the most worrying thing for doctors. Usually, prostate problems alleviate in summer and aggravate in winter.
According to doctors and male urologists, the warm environment can relax the muscle of the lesion, dilate blood vessels and accelerate blood circulation, thus the problems temporarily disappear. The edema and congestion of the prostate and make the urethra unobstructed. But when the human body is cold, the frequency of urination, urgency, and pain caused by prostate problems will come back again.
According to reports, prostatic problems mainly include prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia, among which the incidence of prostatic hyperplasia is the highest. Males may face the risk of prostatic hyperplasia from about 40 years old. The incidence of prostatic hyperplasia is as high as 30-50%, and the incidence of prostatic hyperplasia is as high as 75% when they reach 60-70 years old.
If patients have benign prostatic hyperplasia, there will be many symptoms, such as frequency of urination, the urgency of urination, severe dysuria, or even inability to urinate. Those discomforts affect the normal life of patients; in severe cases, it may lead to death.
Therefore, the natural medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can be considered, it not only has a strong bactericidal effect, can effectively kill all kinds of pathogenic bacteria and eliminate inflammation, but also has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, promoting blood circulation and qi, promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria, and can also resist proliferation and fibrosis, and also improve the prostatic hyperplasia. Only when we know what causes of the disease are, can we effectively prevent it.
