1, the prostate is in charge of ejaculation and urination.
First of all, the prostate is an important accessory gonad of men, with exocrine function, and its secretion is regulated by androgen. It can secrete prostatic fluid, and it can secrete 0.5~2ml of thin milky white liquid every day, and it is mixed with semen when ejaculating, accounting for about 13%~32% of the total semen. It plays an important role in the normal function of sperm and is very important for fertility. At the same time, it is found that prostatic fluid contains fruit acid and amino acid, which is the energy source of sperm activity; Prostate fluid also contains a lot of citric acid, phosphoric acid, potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and other substances, which can make semen slightly alkaline, neutralize the acidic environment of female private parts, and improve the survival rate and vitality of sperm.
Secondly, it also has endocrine function. Prostate is rich in 5α- reductase, which can convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone with more physiological activity. Dihydro-testosterone plays an important role in the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia, which makes the hyperplastic prostate tissue shrink.
Third, the prostate has the function of controlling urination. The prostate starts from the bladder neck and reaches the urogenital diaphragm, with an average length of about 3 cm. This urethra runs through the whole prostate from the bottom to the top and participates in the formation of internal urethral sphincter. When micturition impulse occurs, with the contraction of detrusor, the internal sphincter relaxes, which makes micturition go smoothly. Therefore, the prostate guards the upper mouth of the urethra. Once sick, urination is first affected.
Finally, the prostate has a transport function. The two seminal vesicles are lobulated and approximately inverted "8" shaped, which are closely attached between the posterior wall of bladder and rectum. Their excretory ducts meet the end of the vas deferens, pass through the prostate and enter the prostate part of the urethra, and open on the urethral crest. There are urethra and two ejaculatory ducts in the prostate parenchyma. During ejaculation, the muscles of prostate and seminal vesicle gland contract, and the contents of vas deferens and seminal vesicle gland can be pressed into the posterior urethra through the ejaculatory duct and then excreted. This shows that the prostate is closely related to seminal vesicle and ejaculatory duct. When suffering from prostatitis, seminal vesicle glands can often be involved, leading to seminal vesiculitis.
2. How do men protect the prostate?
1, let yourself move.
The prostate is located at the pelvic floor. Sitting or riding a bicycle for a long time will slow down the blood circulation in the prostate area, lead to chronic congestion and congestion in the perineum and prostate, and affect the normal discharge of prostate secretions.
Running, brisk walking or sit-ups every day can massage the prostate through the abdominal, thigh and hip muscles, accelerate the local blood circulation of the prostate, and be beneficial to the health of the prostate.
Step 2 say "no" to alcohol
The prostate is highly sensitive to alcohol. When you push the cup for a change, the small prostate will make the originally narrow urethra "worse" like an inflated balloon. What is even more worrying is that swollen prostate often takes 3 to 5 days to recover, and the "difficulty" of urination these days has to be borne by yourself.
3. Restrain sexual life
To prevent prostatic hypertrophy, we need to pay attention to it from young adults, and the key sexual life should be moderate, not indulgent and abstinence. Frequent sexual life will keep the prostate in a state of congestion for a long time, which will lead to the enlargement of the prostate. Therefore, in the youth with strong desire, we should pay special attention to controlling sexual life, avoiding repeated congestion of the prostate and giving the prostate time to fully recover and repair. Of course, excessive abstinence will cause fullness and discomfort, which is also bad for the prostate.
Step 4 relax more
Life stress may increase the chance of prostate hypertrophy. Clinically, when the stress of life is reduced, the symptoms of prostate will also be alleviated, so try to stay relaxed at ordinary times.
Step 5 take a hot bath
Taking a warm bath can relieve the tension of muscles and prostate and relieve discomfort. It is undoubtedly very beneficial for prostate patients to take warm baths frequently. If you bathe women's private parts with warm water 1-2 times a day, you can also get good results.
Step 6 be decent
Male scrotum is elastic, secretes more sweat, female private parts are poorly ventilated, foreskin is too long, phimosis and so on. It is easy to shelter evil people from evil practices, and local bacteria often take advantage of it. If you don't pay attention to it in time, serious infection will occur, leading to prostatitis and decreased sexual function, which will seriously cause the quality of semen and lead to male infertility. Therefore, insisting on cleaning female private parts is an important link to prevent prostatitis. In addition, clean the external genitalia before making love every time; If the foreskin is too long or phimosis, operation should be done as soon as possible.
7. Exercise improves the body's immunity.
Now there is a view that human immunity is related to prostate problems. For example, catching a cold or catching a cold may lead to prostate disease. Therefore, men need to do more exercise, improve their physical resistance and avoid catching a cold, which is very necessary to prevent prostate diseases.
8. Have some pumpkin seeds and walnuts.
Chinese medicine has always been very particular about food supplement, and protecting prostate is no exception. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney semen storage is related to reproduction, bladder and urination, so eating some kidney-tonifying products is very good for prostate. Pumpkin seeds and walnut kernels are not only good for tonifying kidney, but also have diuretic effect, and walnut kernels have the function of moistening stool, so men should eat more pumpkin seeds and walnut kernels for tonifying kidney in old age.
If a man wants to be "sexually happy", he should take good care of his prostate and don't let it have an accident. At the same time, we should form good habits in our daily life!
3, protect the prostate and eat more of these.
1, eat more onions and garlic: it can prevent prostate hyperplasia.
Italian medical experts investigated the effects of onion and garlic on prostatic hyperplasia, and found that eating onion and garlic often is of great benefit to prevent prostatic hyperplasia. Studies have shown that people who eat a small amount of onions and garlic vegetables every day can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 50%. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, onion, garlic, spice powder and activating Yang Can break the stagnation of cold, thus contributing to the blood gas circulation of people with blood stasis, proliferative diseases and easy constitution stagnation. The above research can be said to provide clinical evidence for these understandings.
2. Pumpkin seeds and walnuts: good health products.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney semen storage is related to reproduction, bladder and urination, so eating some kidney-tonifying products is very good for prostate. Pumpkin seeds and walnut kernels are not only good for tonifying kidney, but also have diuretic effect, and walnut kernels have the function of moistening stool, so men should eat more pumpkin seeds and walnut kernels for tonifying kidney in old age.
3. Cruciferae food: health function
Cruciferous foods such as broccoli and cabbage are best eaten raw or slightly cooked, without overcooking.
4, tomatoes: protect the prostate
As we all know, lycopene in tomatoes can protect prostate. It is a kind of carotenoid and one of the strongest antioxidants found in nature so far. Its antioxidant capacity is 100 times that of vitamin E. Compared with other antioxidant components, lycopene will preferentially gather in testis, adrenal gland and prostate, which is helpful to prevent oxidation and improve the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia. It is recommended that men eat at least one large tomato every day.
5. New research results.
Pollen extract is the latest research achievement, which has been added to many drugs for the treatment of prostate diseases. Especially rape pollen and rye pollen, because honey contains the essence of pollen, so men without diabetes, eating some honey properly will also protect the prostate.
