What Causes Prostatic Fluid to Flow Out Automatically

Prostatic fluid discharge may be a normal physiological phenomenon or may be caused by urethritis, prostatitis, and other reasons, requiring symptomatic treatment based on the cause.

1. Normal Physiological Phenomenon

Prostatic fluid is secreted by the prostate gland and is mainly composed of fluid secreted by the prostate. After men receive sexual stimulation, prostatic fluid may be discharged, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and generally does not require special treatment.

2. Urethritis

This disease is usually caused by the infection of the urethral mucosa by pathogens, which can lead to inflammation of the urethral opening. Under the stimulation of inflammation, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and even the discharge of prostatic fluid may occur. Patients can use drugs such as levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules and cefuroxime axetil capsules under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Prostatitis

After suffering from this disease, the prostate tissue may be stimulated by inflammation, leading to increased secretion of prostatic fluid and the occurrence of prostatic fluid discharge. Patients can use medications such as tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules and doxazosin mesylate sustained-release tablets under medical guidance for treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is often used by patients for the treatment of prostatitis, urethritis, and other conditions due to its efficacy in clearing heat, detoxification, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis. It acts on the entire urinary and reproductive system diseases.

In addition, patients can also undergo physical treatments such as microwave and radiofrequency therapy.

When does the prostate secrete prostatic fluid?

Usually, the prostate gland continuously secretes prostatic fluid.

The prostate is a gland located between the male bladder and urethra. It is situated below the bladder and above the male urethra. The fluid secreted by the prostate is called prostatic fluid, which constitutes a part of semen. Prostatic fluid is secreted by the prostate gland, and generally, the prostate gland always secretes prostatic fluid. Prostatic fluid is a part of semen and is rich in fibrinolysin and proteolytic enzymes, which help sperm pass through the cervical mucus barrier, allowing them to meet the egg and form a fertilized egg. Prostatic fluid also contains a large amount of zinc ions, which can kill bacteria in the prostatic fluid, reducing the risk of bacterial infection.

Prostatic fluid also provides necessary nutrients for sperm and stimulates their movement. Twenty percent of semen is composed of prostatic fluid. When the prostate becomes inflamed, the secretion of prostatic fluid decreases, and the function of liquefaction factors in prostatic fluid decreases, leading to prolonged liquefaction time of sperm or even failure to liquefy.

If prostatic fluid is not expelled from the body for a long time and accumulates in the prostate, it can easily trigger prostatitis. Prostatitis is a common male disease, usually manifested as frequent urination, urgency, pain, and acidic swelling and pain in the prostate. Therefore, advocating regular sexual intercourse or sexual activity, so that prostatic fluid can be regularly expelled, is conducive to the recovery of prostate function and the prevention of prostatitis.

Men can prevent prostatitis and avoid insufficient secretion of prostatic fluid by:

Firstly, men should pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the perineum, avoiding bacterial growth and inflammation. If the foreskin is too long, it can be treated with circumcision, which can effectively prevent bacterial growth.

Secondly, maintain healthy sexual habits, avoid multiple sexual partners, and take protective measures during sexual intercourse to prevent cross-infection and the occurrence of prostatitis.

Finally, drink plenty of water and urinate frequently, avoiding prolonged urine retention, which helps excrete bacterial substances in urine and reduces the incidence of prostatitis.
