What is the function of prostatic fluid?

Prostatic fluid is a fluid secreted by the male reproductive organs, and this prostatic fluid can promote the formation of fertilized eggs. Male prostatic fluid is also a relatively important part of semen. It can break down a large amount of protein and enzymes, which can maintain the activity of male ejaculation at night. At the same time, it also has a bactericidal effect and can resist external pathogens.

What is the function of prostatic fluid?

1. It can promote the formation of fertilized eggs. Prostatic fluid is an important component of semen. Prostatic fluid contains various enzymes that can decompose various proteins, which can help sperm penetrate the various barriers around the cervix and egg cells, allowing sperm and egg cells to combine smoothly.

2. Prostatic fluid contains a special enzyme called pancreatic chymosin, which can promote semen liquefaction and maintain normal semen vitality. Prostatic fluid is alkaline, which can neutralize the acidic secretions in the female vagina, reduce the damage of acidic substances to sperm, and improve the survival rate of sperm.

3. The zinc ions in prostatic fluid have bactericidal function, which enables the prostate to play a role in resisting external pathogens, thereby maintaining the health of the urinary and reproductive system.

Physiological functions

1. Promote the formation of fertilized eggs: Prostatic fluid contains protease and fibroblastic enzymes, 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 activity: Prostatic fluid contains a special ingredient that enables sperm to obtain nutrients from semen and stimulate sperm activity.

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

4. Improve the survival rate of sperm: 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.

5. Maintaining the hygiene of the reproductive and urinary systems: The prostate is located in front of the bladder and below the rectum, surrounding the urethra. The zinc ions in the prostatic fluid have bactericidal effects, allowing the prostate to play a role in resisting external pathogens, thereby helping to maintain the health of the reproductive and urinary systems.

6. Improve the quality of sex life: The prostate is filled with a large number of nerve networks and nerve endings, so it is a sexually sensitive area that can stimulate sexual impulses and sexual excitement, thus contributing to a harmonious sex life.
