Is it harmful if prostate fluid leaks out?

Prostatic fluid is a secretion of the male prostate and is a type of body fluid unique to men. Male hormones control the secretion of prostatic fluid. Generally speaking, a moderate amount of prostatic fluid can promote blood circulation in the prostate. After sexual stimulation, men's penises will often secrete a certain amount of prostatic fluid, which is not a cause of concern to the human body. However, excessive prostatic fluid is a manifestation of inflammation and requires treatment.

When a man is sexually stimulated, a certain amount of prostatic fluid will flow out of his penis. As long as the prostatic fluid does not flow out every day and is not caused by a way that can stimulate the penis, it will not be harmful. Because the moderate flow of prostatic fluid can promote blood circulation in the prostate and relax overly tense sexual nerves, it has certain benefits. But it should not be too much, and too much flow will be a manifestation of decreased prostate function. If the corpus cavernosum of the penis is congested after stimulation, when the penis is erect, more prostatic fluid will be secreted. This is a completely normal and beneficial physiological reaction. Its function is to lubricate the genitals and facilitate sexual activity. This secretion is not semen and does not contain sperm. Do not mistake it for being pathological.

Prostatic fluid is the secretion of the prostate. The secretion of prostatic fluid is controlled by male hormones, and the daily secretion volume is about 0.5 to 2 ml. It is an important component of semen and one of the seminal plasma components in semen, accounting for about 1/10 to 1/3 of the ejaculated semen. 1/6 is about 0.5 ml. In the ejaculation sequence, prostatic fluid is one of the leading components of semen. The protein content in prostatic fluid is very low, mainly containing high concentrations of zinc ions, acid phosphatase, protease, fibrosis, spermine, aliphatic polypeptides, etc. Among them, protease and fibrosis have the effect of promoting semen liquefaction. The detection of acid phosphatase and citric acid can help judge the function of the prostate and whether there is cancer.

3. Causes of increased prostatic fluid

Excessive prostatic fluid may be closely related to repeated congestion of the prostate. Due to repeated congestion of the prostate tissue, the prostate gland ducts expand, causing the prostate gland to overflow from the urethra. This is a functional change of the prostate. Excessive prostatic fluid is a sign of chronic prostatitis.

Frequent urination, urgent urination, stinging urination, turbid urine, hematuria, yellow urine, frequent urination at night, hematospermia, sexual dysfunction, sexual pain, etc. In clinical practice, prostatitis is divided into acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis, acute and chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, and chronic stubborn prostatitis according to different etiologies and pathologies. Different types of prostatitis require personalized treatment methods according to specific etiologies and pathologies.
