You can produce semen without a prostate gland, but its contents will be slightly different.
Semen contains fluids from the testicles, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands (Cowper's glands). Only about 25-30% of the volume of semen comes from the prostate.
The prostate produces an alkaline-based liquid that mixes with the semen to coat and nourish the sperm. The prostate does not produce the sperm. This is produced in the testicles, but the prostate liquefies the semen to allow the sperm to move.
there are three glands.They are Cowper's gland,prostate gland and seminal vesicles
The Prostate Gland
The prostate, Cowper's gland, testicles, and seminal vesicles.
Semen is made in the prostate. No gland-no semen.
The enlargement of the prostate gland interferes with a male's reproductive function in the sense that it makes it impossible for the gland to produce semen.
Testicles produce sperm. The prostate gland produces the semen fluid that helps nourish sperm. See a doctor for an exam to see if your prostate gland ducts are blocked.
prostate and bulbourethral gland
The prostate gland sits between the scrotum and anus. It's function is to produce a liquid that is mixed with semen to help the sperm move from the man's body into the woman's body.
Several glands are involved in producing semen. The testes create the sperm cells. The prostate gland creates most of the liquid in the semen. The cowper's glands also produce some of the liquid. The seminal vesicles hold the mixture until ejaculation.
The prostate gland secretes about 30% of the fluid, which mixes with the fluid from the seminal vesicle and the spermatozoa. The spermatic fluid or semen is formed by the secretions of the Testes, Seminal vescicles, Prostate gland and Bulbourethral gland. The sperms are secreted by the testes which pass through the vas deferns to seminal vescicles. The seminal vescicles contibute to about 70% of semen. The prostate gland and bulbourethral gland(Cowper's gland) further contibute to form semen.
Semen is actually a mixture of secretions from seminal vesicles, prostate gland and Cowper's gland.
The fluid is derived from the prostate gland. The testicles inject sperm into the prostatic fluid and the cowper's gland shoots "pre-semen" into the urethra before ejaculation. It is extremely slippery and is a lubricant for the semen to flow freely. A rapid climax before excitement can be painful because the cowper's has not yet lubed up the tube.
Infection of the prostate gland. Or something in your diet.
