Where does the prostate grow and what does it do? It is the largest accessory gland in the male reproductive organs. The prostate gland is located in the pelvic cavity. It is located below the bladder, above the urogenital septum, behind the lower border of the pubic symphysis and before the rectum. The urethra passes through the center of the prostate and the prostate is wrapped around the urethra. The prostate is pierced by the left and right ejaculatory ducts behind the prostate. The prostate can be palpated through rectal palpation. The normal prostate is shaped like a chestnut, cone-shaped, with the bottom facing up and the tip facing down. The normal prostate has a transverse diameter of about 4 cm; a longitudinal diameter of about 3 cm; an anterior and posterior diameter of 2 cm; and a prostate weight of about 20 grams. The main physiological functions of the prostate gland are threefold: first, with exocrine function, it can secrete prostatic fluid, an important component of semen, which has an important role in the normal function of sperm. Secondly, it has the function of controlling urination. Thirdly, it has a transport function. The prostate body has a urethra and two ejaculatory ducts through which the contents of the vas deferens and seminal vesicles can be pressed into the posterior urinary urethra when ejaculation occurs and then discharged from the body. How do you get prostatitis? The symptoms of prostatitis are complex, easily combined with the symptoms of neurosis, unsatisfactory treatment, and no sure cure criteria. Some patients are mentally anxious and turn to many hospitals for treatment. The first thing you should know about the cause of the disease and the route of infection is that there are several clear causes: (1) acute inflammatory disease is serious or not thoroughly treated and turned into chronic prostatitis. (2) After the acute urinary tract infection is cured, the residual chronic prostatitis. (3) Lesions from other parts of the body affect the prostate via bloodstream infection, but it is less common. (4) The neighboring lesions spread to the prostate through the lymphatic route. (5) Prostatitis is induced by excessive sexual desire prostate congestion, lower urinary tract obstruction or inflammation, perineal and urethral injury. (6) Prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer can also be combined with infection. In which the inflammation of the posterior urethra causes chronic prostatitis by direct spread is the main route of bacterial transmission.
