What are the effects of prostate removal?

The prostate is an important reproductive organ for men, but in recent years, the incidence of prostate diseases has been increasing. Many men usually have frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. Generally, this situation is usually caused by abnormalities in the prostate. If the prostate is not treated in time, it will cause more serious prostate diseases and may even require prostate removal. What are the effects of prostate removal?

What are the effects of prostate removal?

After the prostate is removed, due to the loss of the prostate, semen will be reduced due to the lack of key prostatic fluid, which is not good for male reproductive health. It will also affect our body's endocrine system and normal excretion system, causing huge damage to our entire body. Unless conventional treatment is ineffective or the effect is too low and difficult to cure, you must consider surgical treatment. Unless it is absolutely necessary, remember not to remove the prostate.

The prostate is very important for men. It is not only a transportation organ in our body, but also an excretory organ, an endocrine organ, and a reproductive organ. It affects the overall health of men. If it is removed, many consequences will occur. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to remove the prostate.

What are the functions of the prostate?

Controlling urination

The prostate surrounds the urethra and is very close to our bladder neck, forming the proximal urethral wall. The smooth muscle fibers actually surround the prostate area of ​​the urethra and participate in our daily urination. When we need to urinate, the urine is discharged from our body with the contraction of the urinary muscles and the relaxation of the sphincter. If a man does not have a prostate, urination will be abnormal, causing difficulty in urination.

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.
