Male fertility can not be separated from the function of healthy seminal vesicles. The seminal vesicles are organs that have an important role in the male reproductive system, because the function of the seminal vesicles is closely related to sperm production.
The seminal vesicles are glands located under the bladder of men. Its exact location is above the prostate gland and in front of the rectum, with an average size of approximately 5 cm. If the seminal vesicles are problematic, it will affect the overall male reproductive process.
Various important functions of the seminal vesicles
As part of the male reproductive system, some functions of the seminal vesicles are:Producing semen
semen is a liquid that contains sperm. Sperm itself is produced by the testes. After the sperm is formed, it will be distributed to the urethra. Throughout the journey of sperm from the testes to the urethra, the seminal vesicles play a role in producing the fluid that forms semen.
Energizes sperm
Sperm needs energy to move. The seminal vesicles release high-sugar-containing liquids, especially the type of fructose (sugar found in fruits). This liquid is used as food or energy source for sperm.
Remove the semen
When semen containing sperm is ready, the seminal vesicles play a role in pushing semen out of the urethra to enter the female reproductive tract during intercourse.
Produces sticky semen
Another function of the seminal vesicle is to make semen sticky, so that semen is able to stick longer in the female reproductive tract and there is a greater chance for sperm to be able to meet with the egg.
