Patient's question:
Doctor, recently I've noticed that many of my friends around me suffer from prostate diseases. They are all envious of me, but I'm curious, what is the prostate? What are its functions? I hope the doctor can help me solve my questions.Doctor's answer:
The prostate is a male reproductive organ. This condition can easily lead to recurrent inflammation, which is known as prostatitis. Some individuals may experience frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination, lower back pain, reduced sexual function, groin discomfort, and symptoms affecting the nervous system. Some patients may also suffer from insomnia and vivid dreams. The primary function of the prostate is to secrete prostatic fluid. The prostate is an organ, and with proper attention to its health, the condition can be managed. For individuals with prostatitis, timely treatment can help reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may negatively impact overall health.
