Its composition in semen is second only to seminal vesicle fluid, accounting for about 15% to 30% of semen composition. However, semen does not play a role in pregnancy. In clinical medicine, prostate massage is used to obtain prostate fluid. The method is as follows: After urinating, the patient takes a chest and knee position, and after massaging the prostate, if semen is seen overflowing from the urethral opening, a glass lens is used to collect the specimen, and reexamination is carried out immediately to prevent dryness.
