The prostate is a male reproductive organ. Although it is only the size of a walnut and is not noticeable in human organ, it plays an indispensable role in male reproduction.
Prostate Period 1. Happy "Childhood"
In early childhood, the prostate gland in the human body is not only "eating, drinking," but also "sleeping," and the body does not allocate any work to it. In childhood, with the development of the human testicles, the synthesized androgens are continuously supplied to the prostate gland, causing it to grow year by year.
When the human body reaches puberty, the prostate also grows into an "adult" physique, weighing 20 grams and standing 3 centimeters tall. If there is a lack of androgen nutrition during adolescence, the prostate will remain immature for a lifetime.
The prostate gland rarely causes diseases in early childhood. When it comes to "the beginning of love", diseases will come to you. Teenagers with phimosis often experience balanitis, urethritis, and other infections. Bacteria from these areas can invade the prostate through the open ejaculatory duct, causing prostatitis,
According to statistics, the minimum age at which prostatitis occurs is 12 years old. Of course, the effective way to prevent prostatitis in adolescence is to remove excess foreskin as soon as possible.
Prostate stage II: "Young and middle-aged"
During the "young and middle-aged" period of the prostate gland, the prostate gland is diligent and busy. At this time, the prostate began its "trial run", producing a small amount of prostatic fluid to provide sperm with exercise energy.
When people get married, the work of the prostate appears busy, and the production of prostatic fluid is non-stop day and night to ensure the continuous delivery of sperm.
This period is a "tumultuous autumn" for the prostate gland. If sexual activity in the human body is too frequent at this time, it can cause the prostate gland to be overloaded for a long time, leading to physical and mental exhaustion, decreased resistance, and easy harm from bacteria.
Due to the frequent sexual activity, the prostate gland is connected to the human urethra through the ejaculatory duct. The ejaculatory duct is often open, and pathogenic bacteria in the urethra can retrograde and invade the prostate gland, causing prostatitis.
If a person has a history of sexual activity, the prostate may also be affected by sexually transmitted bacteria such as gonococcus, chlamydia, and mycoplasma, leading to sexually transmitted prostatitis; Tuberculosis bacteria from other parts of the body can also take the opportunity to visit the prostate, causing tuberculous prostatitis.
Occasionally, pinworms can parasitize the prostate, causing pinworm prostatitis. After the current prostate gland is damaged by inflammation, it can first lead to a decrease in semen quality, fertility, and even infertility in some people. Meanwhile, chronic inflammation often causes abnormalities in human sexual function, such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
To keep diseases out, maintaining local hygiene for reproductive health is the most important. In addition, correcting congenital deformities such as phimosis and phimosis as soon as possible, and keeping oneself clean to prevent sexually transmitted infections, is the only way for the prostate to remain healthy forever.
Prostate Stage 3: Pathological "Senile Stage"
After the age of 60, the prostate gland is aging and gradually gaining weight. As sexual activity gradually decreases in old age, the workload of the prostate gland also gradually decreases, and its functional cells begin to atrophy. Due to the disorder of hormone levels in the elderly human body, non functional cells at the edge of the prostate undergo abnormal hyperplasia, causing an increase in prostate volume, compressing the urethra, causing frequent urination, urgency, increased nocturnal urination frequency, thinner urinary lines, and difficulty urinating.
In medicine, this abnormally enlarged prostate is called benign prostatic hyperplasia. The enlarged prostate is like a mountain, blocking the outflow of urine, which can cause urinary retention, hydronephrosis, even kidney failure, uremia and endanger life.
Moreover, in the elderly prostate, some of its cells may undergo mutations and form cancer cells. Therefore, after the current prostate enlargement, do not only consider it as prostate hyperplasia, but also take blood to check for prostate specific antigen (PSA), which will tell you if the prostate has become cancerous. If the prostate undergoes cancer, it must be treated without hesitation.
In short, the life of the prostate gland interprets the natural law of an organ in the human body from prosperity to decline, revealing the mysteries of the reproductive organs in the process of human reproduction.
