Patient's question:
I heard from others that men must always maintain a healthy prostate, which is good. First, I want to know what a man's prostate is?Doctor's answer:
It is a unique sexual gland organ of men. The prostate is a rare sexual secretory gland in the human body that possesses both internal and external dual excretory functions. As an external secretory gland, the prostate excretes about 2 milliliters of prostatic fluid daily, which is a major component of semen. In daily diet, it is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins to reduce the recurrence of constipation (difficulty in defecation) and to effectively protect the prostate. For patients with prostate conditions, timely treatment can help reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
