Aegir Many men know that the male prostate is a very important reproductive organ. If there are some diseases in this organ, it may have some adverse effects on their sexual life and reproductive function. However, many men are very confused about the location of the male prostate. Most of them think that it is located in the sexual organs.
Where is the male prostate located in boys? What is its function?
The prostate is a unique reproductive organ for men. It rests on the bladder above and just caters to the urinary reproductive organs below. The male urethral opening passes through the middle of the prostate. This shows that the prostate also has a great influence on the male urogenital system. In addition, in appearance, the size of the male prostate is the same as that of a chestnut, and its shape is also similar to that of an upside-down chestnut. Therefore, male friends can also look for the male prostate among many reproductive organs based on its shape.
What is the function of the male prostate?
1. Transportation efficiency
Not only does the urethral opening pass through the male prostate, but the male vas deferens also passes through here. Therefore, when a man ejaculates, the muscles of the prostate and seminal vesicles need to contract with each other, so that the urine can be successfully pressed into the urethral opening, and then it can be discharged out of the body. Therefore, the male prostate has an obvious role in transporting semen.
2. Metabolic effect
The male prostate will metabolize its own unique liquid called semen, which is an important component of semen and also plays a certain role in controlling the quality of male sperm. In other words, when an abnormality is found in a man's prostate, even if his sexual function is not affected at all, his ability to conceive may also have problems. In addition, the male prostate also metabolizes a unique enzyme, and this enzyme has the function of assisting in the conversion of testosterone into dioxytestosterone, thereby maintaining the specificity of tissue cells in the male prostate.
3. The effect of controlling urination
Because the male prostate contains the urethral opening and is closely connected to the bladder, it has a certain control effect on a man's ability to urinate. This is because when a man urinates, he needs the muscles in the prostate to contract first, and then the urine can completely pass through the prostate and be discharged out of the body. Therefore, when a man has a problem with his prostate, it will affect the discharge of waste in his urine.
