∙ 8y agoThe Prostate gland produces and secretes an alkaline fluid that consists of about 30% of the total semen produced and is a chalky white color which is expelled firstly during ejaculatory contractions. The rest, mainly fluid coming from the pair of Seminal Vesicular glands and which is a yellowish color comes with secondary and after contractions. The alkaline fluid initially protects the sperm as it enters the acidity of the vaginal tract en route to fertilisation. The prostate also has smooth muscle which also helps during ejaculation to expel the fluid out.

∙ 13y agoThe function of the prostate is to store and secrete a slightly alkaline fluid, milky or white in appearance, that usually constitutes 25-30% of the volume of the semen along with spermatozoa and seminal vesicle fluid. The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of sperm. The alkalinization of semen is primarily accomplished through secretion from the seminal vesicles.[6] The prostatic fluid is expelled in the first ejaculate fractions, together with most of the spermatozoa. In comparison with the few spermatozoa expelled together with mainly seminal vesicular fluid, those expelled in prostatic fluid have better motility, longer survival and better protection of the genetic material (DNA). The prostate also contains some smooth muscles that help expel semen during ejaculation.
