What is the cause of prostatic fluid leakage?

Some men will find that they have prostatic fluid leakage. Many people have a certain understanding of this situation. Most of the prostatic fluid leakage of men is before sexual intercourse, especially those who have not had sexual intercourse for a long time. And the leakage of prostatic fluid is not just this kind of situation. Let's introduce in detail what is the leakage of prostatic fluid.

The prostate is a urogenital organ unique to men. One of the main functions of the prostate is to secrete prostatic fluid, which is also the main component of semen. Prostatic fluid will be discharged from the body with male ejaculation. For unmarried or married men, if they have not had sex for a long time, due to the lack of ejaculation for a long time, especially under sexual stimulation, transparent mucus will flow out of the urethra, which is prostatic fluid. It can also appear before and after defecation, which is a normal phenomenon. If you often ejaculate and still have prostatic fluid every day, it may be prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis, which is often accompanied by frequent urination, incomplete urination, urinary retention, perineal swelling and pain, and difficulty urinating. You should go to the urology department of a regular public hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.

Prostatic fluid is a component of semen, so it is also discharged during ejaculation. Generally, prostatic fluid is not discharged alone. If white dripping occurs after urination or defecation, the possibility of prostatitis should be considered. When the above clinical symptoms occur, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a routine prostatic fluid test to confirm the diagnosis. This test mainly involves massaging the prostate through anal fingering to squeeze the prostatic fluid out of the body, and then going to the laboratory for testing, mainly to determine whether the patient has prostatitis.

Physiological functions of prostatic fluid

1. Promote the formation of fertilized eggs: Prostatic fluid contains protease and fibrosis, which can help sperm pass through multiple barriers - the mucus barrier in the cervix and the zona pellucida of the egg cell, allowing sperm and egg cells to combine smoothly.

2. Stimulate sperm motility: Prostatic fluid contains a special ingredient that enables sperm to obtain nutrients from semen and stimulate sperm motility.

3. Promote the liquefaction of semen: Chymotrypsin in prostatic fluid can promote the liquefaction of semen.

4. Improve sperm survival rate: Prostatic fluid is slightly alkaline, which can neutralize the acidic secretions in the female vagina, reduce the erosion of acidic substances on sperm, and improve the survival rate of sperm.
