Patient's question:
I am 33 years old this year, I am a big fat person, and I haven't been divorced for long. I found that my prostate can't really fit into my wife's vagina, it's really too big. I don't know what the reason is, is it because I am fat?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is a male-specific, largest accessory gland, located deep within the pelvic cavity of males. Its shape and size resemble a chestnut, weighing about 15 grams. The base is upward, the apex is upward, and it is light red with a slightly grayish hue, surrounding the initial part of the male urethra. In clinical diagnosis, it is often divided into five lobes: anterior, middle, posterior, and the left and right lateral lobes. The anterior and posterior lobes are relatively small and rarely recur with inflammation. The middle lobe and the left and right lateral lobes are the important parts that constitute the prostate and are also the key sites for the onset of chronic prostatitis. Due to the presence of a lipid-rich membrane on the surface of the prostate acini, forming a blood-prostate barrier, most antimicrobial drugs find it difficult to penetrate this membrane, enter the gland, and reach effective blood drug concentrations.
