Introduction to male development characteristics

Not only female friends' bodies do not develop during puberty, male friends' bodies also develop. I believe that friends may not know that the male development period is very early compared to females. Many boys will show development of various parts of the body at the age of eight or nine. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction to the male development period.

Characteristics of sexual physiological development in male puberty

Puberty is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood (for males, it is between 11-12 years old and 17-18 years old). During this period, you will feel that your body has undergone significant changes in growth, development, metabolism, endocrine function and psychological state. The development and maturation of the reproductive system are particularly noticeable. Therefore, puberty is a transitional period from children to adults, and it is a key period that determines a person's development level throughout his life.

Why is the development of the reproductive system the most prominent? It turns out that in the process of human growth and development, the development of various systems in the human body is early or late, fast or slow. In the period from birth to 10 years old, the changes in the reproductive system are very small, and compared with other organs that grow more rapidly, it is almost static. However, once puberty begins, the development of the reproductive system becomes unstoppable and very rapid, leaving other organs far behind. So, what changes do men undergo in the development of their reproductive system?

1. Development of reproductive organs

The male reproductive organs include the external genitalia and the internal genitalia. The external genitalia mainly include the penis and scrotum; the internal genitalia mainly include the testicles, epididymis, seminal vesicles, and prostate. The penis is the male's sexual organ, and the front end of the penis is the glans. In infancy, the glans is covered with a layer of skin called foreskin. After puberty development accelerates, or when approaching maturity, the foreskin will gradually retract backwards to expose the glans. The testicles are the most important internal reproductive organs of men. They are oval in shape, a pair, and are stored on both sides of the male's scrotum. In the fetal period, the testicles are in the human abdominal cavity and only descend into the scrotum after birth. Some boys have no testicles in their scrotum, or only one side has testicles, which means that the testicles are still in the abdominal cavity and have not descended. This is called cryptorchidism in medicine. Surgery should be performed as early as the age of two or three. The main functions of the testicles are two: one is to produce sperm; the other is to secrete male hormones. The epididymis is attached to the top of the testicles. Its main function is to store the sperm produced by the testicles. At the same time, the secretions it produces provide nutrition for the sperm and promote the further maturation of the sperm. The seminal vesicle is located at the bottom of the bladder. Its function is to secrete a yellow viscous liquid and participate in the composition of semen, which has the effect of increasing sperm motility. The prostate is a solid organ. The milky white liquid it secretes is the main component of semen.

Above we have introduced that in the life of men during their development period, parents and friends should pay attention to the development of their children. They must supplement their children with nutrients during the development stage and do not let their children become picky eaters, which will bring certain obstacles to their children's development.
