prostate


The main function of the prostate is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline (pH 7.29) fluid that represents 10-30% of the volume of seminal fluid, together with the sperm, is semen. The rest of the seminal fluid is produced by the two seminal vesicles. The alkalinity of the seminal fluid helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The prostate is the modified wall of the proximal portion of the male urethra and is the 9th week of life in the embryonic development of the reproductive system. Condensation of mesenchyme, urethra and Wolffian ducts leads to the adult prostate, a body composed of several done glandular and non-glandular components merged within a common good capsule. Within the prostate, urethra from the bladder is called prostatic urethra and merges with the two ejaculatory ducts. (The male urethra has two functions: to carry urine from the bladder during urination and bring semen during ejaculation.) The prostate is sheathed in the muscles of the pelvic floor, which contract during the ejaculatory process. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) occur in older men, [5] prostate often grows to the point where it becomes difficult to urinate. Symptoms include the need to go to the bathroom frequently or taking a while to get started. If the prostate grows too large, it may constrict the urethra and prevent the flow of urine, making urination difficult and painful, and in extreme cases, completely impossible. BPH can be treated with drugs or with surgery that removes the prostate. The surgery most often used in such cases, is called a transurethral resection of prostate (TURP or RTU). In TURP, an instrument is inserted through the urethra to remove prostate tissue that is pressing against the top of the urethra and restricting the flow of urine. Men older often have corpora amylacea [6] (amyloid), dense accumulations of calcified material protein, in the ducts of their prostates. The corpora amylacea May obstruct the lumens of ducts of the prostate, and may underlie some cases of BPH. Cancer of the prostate is one of the most common cancers affecting older men in developed countries and a major cause of death among older men (estimated by some experts, a 3%). Regular rectal examinations are recommended for older men to detect prostate cancer early. In 1993, the Journal of the American Medical Association showed a link between vasectomy and an increased risk of prostate cancer. Relatados studies of 48000 and 29000 men who had vasectomies showed 66 percent and 56 percent higher rates of prostate cancer, respectively. The risk increased with age and the number of years since the vasectomy was performed. However, in March of that year, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development held a conference cosponsored by the National Cancer Institute and others to review the available data and information on the relationship between prostate cancer and vasectomies. It was determined that an association between the two was very weak, at best, and even having a vasectomy increased the risk, the risk was relatively small.
