What is the function of the prostate?

Speaking of the prostate, everyone knows that it is a very important organ for men. If a man loses his prostate, it will have a great impact on him. Not only will it affect his physical health, but it will also affect conception. In recent years, the incidence of prostate diseases has been increasing, which is very harmful to men's physical health. Prostate diseases require active treatment.

What is the function of the prostate?

Exocrine function

The prostate is actually one of the most important secretory glands in our body, and the most important function of the prostate is to secrete prostatic fluid. Prostatic fluid, together with the seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands and other secretory fluids, together constitute the fluid in semen. If there is a problem with the prostate, it will affect the survival and quality of sperm. In addition, the enzymes contained in the prostatic fluid are important elements for sperm movement. At the same time, the prostate also secretes male hormones, which are closely related to men's sexual ability and the development of the reproductive system. Do you really want to remove such an important organ?

Transport function

There is actually a urethra and two ejaculatory ducts inside the prostate. When a man ejaculates, the muscles of the prostate and seminal vesicles contract, ejecting semen into the urethra and then out of the body. When we need to excrete toxins or excess water from the body, we also need to excrete them through the urethra. Without the prostate, the body's transport function will be affected, which is not good for our health.

Endocrine function

The prostate not only secretes prostatic fluid, a fluid that is very important for sperm, but it also secretes a hormone called prostaglandins. This hormone actually promotes our endocrine system, reproductive system, digestive system, blood transportation, cardiovascular system, and urinary system. It can be said that one move affects the whole body. The importance of the prostate to the body is self-evident.

How to prevent prostate disease

Health exercises

Complete the following four steps every day to prevent prostate disease:

① Massage the lower abdomen 30 times clockwise, then press the lower abdomen, lifting it from bottom to top, and repeat 30 times.

② Use a warm wet towel to rub the perineum, rub 3 circles and push upwards, and continue for one or two minutes.

③ Rub the kidney area on the back with the palms of your hands until it becomes slightly warm.

④Massage the heels and the depressions on the soles of your feet until you feel warmth.

Dietary precautions

In addition to health exercises, men should also pay attention to adjusting their daily life. For example, they should eat a light diet, quit drinking, avoid eating chili peppers, eat less ginger, green onions, raw garlic, pepper, etc., and avoid excessive consumption of beef, mutton, seafood, coffee, cola, strong tea, etc. They can eat more apples and tomatoes appropriately. Drinking more water is like bathing the prostate, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of prostatitis.
