I have seen many patients (including unmarried young people) ask me: “Dr. Zhang, can I have my prostate removed? The actual fact is that you can’t get a lot of money from the company. The most important thing is to secrete the prostate fluid and participate in the composition of semen. The zinc within the semen has an anti-microbial effect; citric acid keeps the semen in osmotic balance and maintains a suitable pH. Citric acid combined with calcium ions can control the liquefaction process after the discharge of semen and prevent prostate stones; spermidine strengthens sperm movement and relaxes smooth muscle. oxidized spermidine and spermidine are the main antibacterial agents in semen and are important for the protection of sperm. There are many reasons for male infertility, and the change in pH of semen due to prostatitis is one of them. Prostate fluid can affect the acidity of semen. This is because normal human semen is mainly a 2:1 mixture of seminal vesicle and prostate secretions, with prostate fluid being acidic and seminal vesicle fluid being alkaline. The pH of semen is 7.2~7.8. When the pH is slightly more than 7 (semen is slightly alkaline), it is the best environment for sperm activity. Once the pH is less than 7 (acidic), the vitality and metabolism of sperm will decrease. Therefore, when you have prostatitis, the prostatic fluid secretion increases and the pH value of semen decreases and becomes acidic. The semen is made up of two parts: sperm and seminal plasma. The spermatozoa are produced in the testes; the seminal plasma is produced by the seminal vesicles, prostate and urethral glands, among which the prostate fluid accounts for about one third of the total seminal plasma, thus showing the status of prostate fluid in seminal fluid. It is a combination of the essence of human life, which is divided into the following categories: trace elements such as sodium, zinc, magnesium and chlorine; enzymes such as fibrinogenase; and lecithin vesicles and water. The various components contained in the prostate fluid all play different roles. For example, proteolytic enzymes, fibrinolytic enzymes, and especially hyaluronidase, help sperm to cross the mucus plug of the female cervix and the zona pellucida of the egg, and promote the union of sperm and egg cells. Another substance in the prostate fluid allows the nutrients in the semen to easily enter the sperm and be converted into energy, thus enhancing sperm motility. This shows the importance of the prostate for male reproductive function. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this. This is because the prostate surgery can easily injure the sphincter at the neck of the bladder and cause incontinence. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
