Male sex organs and the disease

The male genitalia are all internal and external organs of a man who played a role in reproduction. Among them are organs with which sexual intercourse can be carried out, to keep organs that form the germ cells, and forward messages.

The male sex organs are like the female sex organs into external and internal genitalia divided.

The internal male sex organs

Among the internal reproductive organs of a man:

    Testes (testicles)
    Epididymis
    Vas deferens
    Vesicular gland (seminal vesicle)
    Cowper's glands
    Prostate gland (prostate)
    Harnsamenröhre (urethra)


Testicle
The two testicles are responsible for the fertility of a man and very important for the reproductive organs. In them, the sperm are formed which after ejaculation in the woman's body to fertilize the female egg. The testicles are located in the scrotum (the scrotum) and are about as big as a walnut. You have a volume of about 15 to 25 milliliters. In addition to the sperm cells produced in the testes and the male sex hormone testosterone. It is partly responsible for the development of male sex characteristics. Therefore, it is also called male hormone.
Epididymis

The epididymis are on top and on the back of the testicles. They each have an approximately four to five centimeters long epididymal duct. The sperm migrate from the testes into the epididymis where they mature in the epididymal duct further. Only after about three months of this maturation process sperm can fertilize an egg. The sperm are stored in the epididymis until ejaculation, and then ejected into the vas deferens, pass into the epididymis transitions. In the body, the sperm will be taken down when the man over a longer period of time does not ejaculate.
Vas deferens

The two vas deferens are individually about 50 to 60 centimeters long and run as a continuation of the epididymal passage through the inguinal canal, touching the duct of the gland vesicles and end in the Harnsamenröhre. In the vas deferens sperm from the epididymis to be transported into the bladder.
Seminal vesicle

Between the bladder and rectum are the two seminal vesicle (seminal vesicles). These male sex organs produce a secretion that contains fructose. This fluid is especially important for the sperm, because it provides them with energy, she keeps moving and vital. The ejaculate is composed of approximately 50 to 80 percent from the secretions of the seminal vesicles. In addition to the seminal vesicles and prostate and bladder in the production of ejaculate are involved. With each ejaculation, the seminal vesicles give off about half the amount of secretion, which is contained in them.
Cowper's glands

In the muscles of the pelvic floor, the Cowper's glands lie beneath the prostate gland. They open into the urethra during sexual intercourse but from a basic liquid that neutralizes the acidic environment of the Harnsamenröhre.
Prostate

Below the bladder is about the big chestnut prostate gland (prostate), which surrounds the beginning of the urethra. The ejaculate is formed at about 15 to 30 percent from the secretion of the male sex organ. His muscles push the semen from one ejaculate at the Harnsamenröhre and they allow women also to control the urine and maintain.
Harnsamenröhre

The term Harnsamenröhre suggests that this sex organ by both urine and semen to pass from the body. In case of sexual arousal of the connection is closed Harnsamenröhre to the bladder, however, that no urine escapes.

The external genitalia of the man

Among the external male genitalia, the scrotum and the penis (penis) are counted.
Scrotum

When the scrotum is a sac-like skin bag. It contains both the epididymis and testis and is outside the body. In the scrotum, the temperature is slightly lower than in the rest of the body. This is particularly important for sperm production, which can only function normally at a temperature below body temperature.
Link

The penis consists of three parts. On the abdominal wall is where the penis. She goes into the penile shaft, the middle part of this body, over. The tip of the limb is formed by the spherical acorn, which is located at the opening of Harnsamenröhre. The sensitive glans is protected by the foreskin. In circumcised men is wholly or partially visible. Inside the gate there are several corpora cavernosa. These are hollow spaces, which fill with blood during sexual arousal. This leads to an erection.

Diseases of male genital organs
The male sex organs may be affected by different diseases. These are either inherited or arise in the course of life. Some are transmitted through sexually transmitted diseases from one person to another. Diseases of the male reproductive organs include:

Diseases and injuries of testicles and penis:

    Hernia
    Phimosis
    Narrowing of the Harnsamenröhre
    Tumors (for example, testicular cancer)
    Torsion of the testicle (testicular torsion)
    Glans inflammation
    Penile fracture


Diseases of the Prostate:

    Enlargement of the prostate
    Prostate Cancer
    Inflammation of the prostate


Sexually transmitted diseases:

    Chlamydia infection
    Trichomonas infection
    Gonorrhea
