Where is prostatitis located?

Men do not know where the male prostate is located and what functions it has. Many people are not very clear about it. Many men call the male prostate the fate line. The lack of awareness of the male prostate and the lack of professional knowledge of men's diseases can easily lead to an increase in male diseases intermittently. However, the lack of awareness of the male prostate is becoming more and more alarming.

Where is prostatitis located?

About 2 cm from the anus to the duodenum

The location of the male prostate is about 2 cm in front of the duodenum of the anus. If you touch it with your fingers, you can touch a slightly hard spherical area by inserting your fingers about 2 cm into the anus. This place is the male prostate.

The function of male prostate

1. Transportation function

The male prostate has a urethral opening and two vas deferens passing through it. When a man ejaculates, the muscles of the male prostate and seminal vesicle contract, which can push the contents of the ejaculatory ducts and seminal vesicles into the posterior urethra through the vas deferens and then expel them out of the body. In general, the male prostate has four key functions and fully plays a key role in the human body.

2. Control urination function

The male prostate surrounds the urethral opening and is close to the bladder neck, forming the proximal urethral opening wall. Its annular smooth muscle chemical fiber tightly surrounds the male prostate of the urethral opening and participates in the formation of the internal dilation of the urethral opening. When the desire to urinate is generated, the internal dilation relaxes with the contraction of the detrusor muscle, allowing urination to proceed smoothly.

3. Exocrine effect

The male prostate is the largest sex hormone in men and is also one of the exocrine glands in the body. It can metabolize semen and is a key component of semen. It plays a key role in the normal function of sperm and is very important for pregnancy. The metabolism of semen is controlled by androgens.

4. Endocrine effects

The male prostate contains abundant 5α-reductase, which can convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, which is more physiologically specific. Dihydrotestosterone plays a key role in the development of prostatic hyperplasia. By blocking 5α-reductase, the production of dihydrotestosterone can be reduced, thereby shrinking the hyperplastic male prostate tissue.
