The prostate is in the middle of the development of the male sex hormone, which helps in men, that the words and feel the men. The glandular tissue of the prostate gland produces prostatic fluid, prostate gland secretion, and sex hormones.
Inflammation of the prostate gland often leads to sexual dysfunction, negatively affects the process of formation of male sex cells - sperm. Sex hormones protect the man not only impotence, but also to prevent the development of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.

Complications, such as vesiculitis - inflammation of the seminal vesicles, colliculitis inflammation seed tubercle, inflammation of the vas deferens is due to the peculiarities of the anatomical structure of men. During long-term impaired fertility sperm is affected, their motor skills up to complete immobility, disturbed their quantitative and qualitative development. Disturbed permeability of sperm cells in seed-efferent ducts. And this is a direct way to male infertility, which treatment, if possible, it is a very complex and long.
