Many men only know that prostate disease can affect their urination and sexual function, but most patients do not know that in addition to these two issues, they will also face various problems caused by pain issues and insufficient androgen secretion.
The biggest causes of prostate disease leading to patients seeking medical attention are often sexual dysfunction and pain issues, as well as urinary problems that bring inconvenience to patients' lives. However, in addition to these problems, many patients also experience many symptoms: insomnia, dreaminess, dry eyes, irritability, memory decline, wet scrotum, and itching.
Many patients do not realize that these problems are caused by prostate disease, and they do not occur instantaneously. These problems gradually manifest themselves, and over time, patients will feel that they are no longer healthy.
The prostate is not only an important organ for maintaining male sexual function, but also a source of male health.
Simply put, male masculinity is mainly maintained by male hormones. As the male sex endocrine gland, the prostate gland secretes prostaglandins that contain rich amounts of 5 α- Reductase, which can convert testosterone secreted by the testes into dihydrotestosterone with more physiological activity, maintains the normal physiological functions of tissues and organs throughout the body.
Dihydrotestosterone maintains male spermatogenesis, stimulates the development of reproductive organs, promotes the appearance of male side effects, and maintains their normal morphology; Maintain normal sexual desire; Promote protein synthesis, especially in muscles and reproductive organs, while also promoting bone growth, calcium and phosphorus deposition, and red blood cell production.
Androgens are closely related to a man's lifetime. Androgens are produced by the testes, mainly testosterone secreted by the testes. This is almost universally known. But one thing that everyone doesn't know is that testosterone is associated with the 5 α Only after the reaction of invertase can dihydrotestosterone be produced, which acts directly on the human body.
Dihydrotestosterone has stronger activity than testosterone, which enhances sperm vitality, provides sufficient nutrients to sperm, and promotes sperm production; To maintain male fertility, stimulate the development of male reproductive organs, promote the emergence of male side effects, and maintain their normal morphology; Maintain normal sexual desire; Promote protein synthesis, especially in muscles and reproductive organs, while also promoting bone growth, calcium and phosphorus deposition, and red blood cell production.
Androgen and bone density seem to be unrelated. However, a new study from the Albany Medical Center in New York found that low androgen levels in men not only lead to decreased sexual function, but also reduce bone density and increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Professor Sun Tao, a visiting professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine and vice chairman of the Chinese Association of Anti Aging Physicians, also confirmed in his topic "Androgen and Male Health" that the level of androgen determines the emotional sleep, skeletal shape, immune metabolism, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of men, ultimately determining the level of male masculinity and health.
Men with low levels of sexual hormones have symptoms such as irritability, decreased libido, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, difficulty or lack of rigidity in the morning erection, and decreased ejaculation. They also exhibit symptoms similar to those of women during menopause - hot flashes. Canadian researchers followed 3600 elderly men for five years and found that those with low male androgen levels had the highest rate of death from heart disease.
